Hudson Taylor: Overcoming sibling rivalry and battling anti-South Dublin attitudes
Hudson Taylor have a new album on the way, and a forthcoming gig at Cyprus Avenue, Cork.
One of the worst sins a pop star can commit is to be posh. This was a lesson acoustic duo Hudson Taylor learned the hard way early in their career. Brothers Harry and Alfie Hudson-Taylor had grown up in exclusive Sandymount and Monkstown in South Dublin. And so people leaped to conclusions about silver spoons and privileged lives. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.
“I had a lot of imposter syndrome growing up,” says Harry. “My parents were self-employed. You would have little blasts of financial stuff. And sometimes you would be absolutely broke. And you're living in the middle of south County Dublin, where most people are quite well off. You get tarnished with that around the rest of the country. ‘Oh these boys from South Dublin’.”
