Simon Taylor is a singer-songwriter from Newcastle upon Tyne whose music combines
elements of rock, funk, pop and Latin with influences ranging from Leonard Cohen to
Serge Gainsbourg. Simon began his performing career in 2011 with his Latin/ funk/ jazz 5
piece Simon Taylor & The Sundowners. They performed at the Mouth Of The Tyne &
VAMOS Festivals plus the Boiler Shop in Newcastle on three occasions and their music
featured regularly on BBC Introducing. Following a headline gig at the O2 Academy
Newcastle in 2018 Simon began to perform solo, releasing two e.ps during the pandemic
that were entirely self-recorded. On hearing the second of these, Simon’s 2022 mental
health-themed e.p “Survival” on Bandcamp, the British Library Sound Archive asked him to
send over his back catalogue for storage in the archive. In 2021 Simon also
reached the Semi-Finals of the UK Songwriting Contest with his ballad “Bad Times Are
Through”. Simon was accepted by Help Musicians for their Recording & Releasing Music
funding scheme in 2023 and is constantly working on new recording projects while working
away on re-forming a band after a seven-year hiatus
