EDDZ – in session for John Kennedy – Radio X – March 4, 2023 – Radio X, London
EDDZ for a Saturday night – recorded for John Kennedy at Radio X in London on March 4th of this year.
EDDZ is the alter-ego of Liam Taylor, a multi-faceted instrumentalist/singer/songwriter. He’s only been around a short time and released his debut ep “Happiness Doesn’t Always Last” in December of last year.
The four-track record featured a mixture of new material as well as tracks released earlier in 2022. So far it’s getting good reviews. Happiness Doesn’t Always Last features previous singles What We Wish To See and Ignorance alongside new songs Wandering and A Life Well Spent which were issued earlier in the year.
The EP was recorded and produced at Foundry Street Studio in Northampton by Adam Gammage and Greg Coulson and mastered by Dave Crawford at Plastic Street Studios.
Taylor has been a familiar face on the county music scene for a number of years, previously playing in both The Keepers and The Comms.
While both were based around more traditional band line ups, Eddz sees Taylor perform solo to backing tracks, with a sound influenced more by the likes of Sleaford Mods, Billy Nomates and Willis Earl Beal.
January saw Eddz opening for Opus Kink at The Black Prince as part of Independent Venue Week and returned to the studio with Gammage and Coulson at the end of the month to record new material.
Away from Eddz, Taylor is planning on heading out on tour with Billy Sullivan which started in March for a run of dates across the UK as part of the former frontman of The Spitfires’ new band.
Taylor said: “It will be a new experience heading out on so many dates and getting to play at new venues around the UK.
“The band will be playing The 100 Club in London at the end of March, the iconic venue is on my tick list of places to perform and another highlight is that we will be heading over to Montbeliard in France.”
To get a better idea of who Liam Taylor is as well as EDDZ, I suggest you sit down and press Play and dive in. It’s the weekend anyway, so . . .
