Andy Taggart
Andy Taggart made his debut at Southampton University Folk Club back in 1969 and tells us "it's been downhill ever since". He warns that "if it's self-penned songs of teenage angst you're after then it would be better to spend the half hour he is playing in the beer tent. If, instead, it's derivative, retro renditions of blues, country, folk and pop you like then listen in!" He is one of the most frequent performers at the weekly Reform Inn Open Mic Night.
Andy will be playing the Middle Stage at 13.00 noon. |
