Career

In 1979, after the ITV strike caused a curtailment in that year's autumn term schedules, Terry Taylor's guitar tunes "The May Dance" and "Les Trois Enfants", were used as interval tracks as an accompaniment for the schools programmes interval slides.

After Tucky Buzzard broke up, after an introduction by Wyman, Taylor joined the band Arrows for their second television series, The Arrows Show. After the death of Alan Merrill in March 2020, Taylor is now the last surviving member of Arrows.

Taylor co-founded the band The Rhythm Kings with Wyman in 1997 and is currently a member.[1][2]

Personal life

Taylor has one son, Daniel, a result of his relationship with ex-wife Eva Dyrinda Taylor.
