There's A Touch Of The Neil Young About Jon! 
Halifax Evening Courier. April 24th 2009. Hub a Bub at QFolk, The Victoria Theatre, Halifax. UK. 
Maybe it's something in the West Riding air or water, but we do seem blessed at the moment with some prodigious talent in the folk world, as John Sharp, QFolks promoter, continues to demonstrate. Jonathan Taylor, Warwick born but these days very much a Halifax lad, is a rare talent indeed. Not only is he the possessor of a marvellously dusty, dusky voice full of resonance and beauty, which invites comparison with Neil Young in vocal colour if not in style, but he writes some awe-inspiring songs, both lyrics and melody. His partner, Shipley based Steve Wilkinson is a poet of the Northern Voice School, refreshing in his use of conventional metrical patterns and rhyme schemes, whose pithily worded poems often take the form of dramatic monologues or dialogues. Together, they launched into an 'anti war pro soldier' tirade, beginning with The Great War and coming right up to date with that in Iraq. Jonathan's Soldier, Soldier, Don't Look Back was deeply moving, and perfectly complimented by Steve's heart felt tribute to Shipley born Sgt Steven Roberts, the first British soldier to die in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. In a varied second half, Jonathan turned romantic and sang some beautiful songs, including his own tear jerker 'Please Close The Door Quietly,' the iconic 'I Put A Spell On You' and, would you believe, a profound version of 'Dolly Parton's Jolene.' And Steve gave the world premier of his satirical take on the eccentric Greek philosopher, Diogenes.

As featured on international TV and radio, Jonathan Taylor is an award-winning (Akademia) British singer/songwriter. As a student with Sp.LD (Acquired brain injury / Dyslexia), he was also awarded the Principal's Award for ‘Outstanding Achievement in Education’ during his studies (Youth & Community Work) whilst at Bradford & Ilkley Community College (Bradford University). Placed in a 'special Unit' he’d left school without having been entered for any formal secondary examinations. He later (oh, the irony of it) entered teaching with a P.G.C.E (Huddersfield University). Today; he specialises (Leeds Beckett University) in mentoring and adult education. His favourite film would probably be 'Inglorious B*stards' and of books - 'Animal Farm.' In his own words Jonathan says: ‘’Thanks for checking out Brittunculi, my humble little self-publishing outlet. I have a passion for cutting-edge storytelling, especially those with a dark undercurrent that other authors are reluctant to touch, I love a good cliché-free twist. My works are mostly born of my passion for historical fiction – plots that draw my readers in. I always incorporate humour: for both entertainment and escape, I’m sure you will feel thrilled with both laughter and the human darkness that can lurk unexpectedly between my covers. I sincerely thank you for your support of unsigned writers, I’d be delighted to hear from you’’. https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/brittunculi

Under Attack (Full album) 17HRS

I never seem to wonder ,where I am going
I always seem to  think of where I have been
Reflextions of the past they always seem to melinger
My mind is always capturing Images of what I have seen
Chorus
Its time to go where the  sandman has been
To Mingle amongst the  kings and the  queens
The Jester cries out with a card in his hand 
Its never the same in this mystical land

Raindrops falling creating ripples in a pool
Molecules coliding the  Imps hypnotized like a fool
I try to  find the door that leads me to another dimention
But the path that it leads me to is to no door at all
Chorus
Its time to go where the  sandman has been
To Mingle amongst the  kings and the  queens
The Jester cries out with a card in his hand 
Its never the same in this mystical land

Emptyness deafens my ears with total silence
The curtains are drawn bringing  twilight to the room
I can see the  sun disapear from the horizon
As the night claws itself up untill another dawn
Chorus
Its time to go where the  sandman has been
To Mingle amongst the  kings and the  queens
The Jester cries out with a card in his hand 
Its never the same in this mystical land
We all been spellbound by  dreams
But some of those dreams  are left there to linger
whats it all for in the end?
Dont ask me I dont give a damn
I dont understand man.
Music & Lyrics  Written By Daniel Treger/Frank Camilleri
