Hudson Taylor: On the street to stardom

Their busking days stood Hudson Taylor in good stead for their highly anticipated debut album, writes Ed Power

ALFIE Hudson Taylor never stopped believing. Together with older brother, Harry, the singer and guitarist has spent the past four years toiling on their debut album. The road hasn’t been smooth — it has been cratered with difficulties. Still, they persisted and here they are, Singing For Strangers finally finished and in the shops.

“It was a bit of a learning curve,” says the 22-year-old Dubliner. “We took a long time. The album was actually completed once already. However, we didn’t like it, so we scrapped it and started over. You don’t want to put out a record you aren’t passionate about. In the long run, it just would not be any fun.”
