Career
When Johnnie Walker decided to play the first track from an album named Montpelier, which Jane had doodled herself), she became a national radio presenter. The listeners' reaction was both high and curious for an 'unknown' artist. Despite not being on the playlist, Johnnie Walker performed the song more than 15 times, and the show invited Taylor into the studio to perform a live session on the show.
Montpelier's first album had been produced on a shoestring, in a barn, with all production costs covered by pre-selling the album to her faithful fan base (which she had inherited from Bristol). In a freezing October, Taylor, producer Bill Lovelady, and her band recorded the album in nine days. Once it was made, she simply posted it on BBC Radio 2 and crossed her fingers.
She was invited to appear live on the BBC to film a reaction to the airplay. From there, she continued to assist Jools Holland, Bill Wyman, Seth Lakeman, Paul Buchanan, Andy Fairweather Low, and Paulo Nutini. She has signed a distribution contract, had "Fall on Me" on MTV, and toured the United Kingdom and Germany, spreading the word and connecting her music to even more people.
Taylor's second album, Compass, was financially sponsored by two female fans of her music, whom Taylor now refers to as 'The Angels.' Taylor had never met her benefactors before, but they are now friends. In Sheffield's Yellow Arch Studios, she produced the album with Mercury nominated producer Colin Elliot (famous for his work on the Richard Hawley albums).
The Grimethorpe Colliery Brass Band (who appeared in the film Brassed Off), a gospel choir made up of some of Bristol and Bath's finest songwriters and performers, as well as classical string arrangements from her resident band Robin Davies, Bethany Porter, and Fears Heatherington.
Compass's tracks were broadcast on BBC Radio 2 as a result. In the 2010 Independent Music Awards, the album received the Best Album in the Folk / Singer-Songwriter category.
She had booked a concert at St George's Hall, Bristol, which had been sold out, after taking some time out to give birth to her son. Lizz Lipscombe on violin, Robert Bray on percussion and uke, Robin Davies on double bass, and Kate Robey on cello were among Taylor's invited performers to perform on stage. Alphonse Daudet Touna, singer-songwriter Roger Tarry, The JT Brass Players (Andy Davies, Matt Davies, and Chris Sanders) and the Barefoot Collective and Original Sing choirs were among other notable guests. The concert was a hit, and Bristol's Venue Magazine named it one of the top three shows in the South West for 2010. In November 2011, the concert was released as Live Album. Taylor's latest single, "Oh December," was released in December 2011.
Taylor continues to perform live with her band and tour under her own independent label Bicycle Records. She is aided by her fan base, who in 2010 raised over £9000 to help her advertise her work and fund her tours.
"Without the people who buy my music and support the gigs and concerts, I would never have gotten this far." At times, being an independent artist making the kind of music I do, and competing with the more popular and larger brands can be quite overwhelming. But then I'll get an amazing email from someone who is connected with the music or have the most positive feedback after a show, and I can't imagine doing anything else!"
