Richard Taylor
About Me
Hi! I am Richard Taylor, alias Wandering Wilf Taylor, alias The Good Doctor. You can see what I get up to on my website www.harpsurgery.com I teach harp and run workshops. I am also local rep for the UK National Harmonica League (NHL) www.harmonica.co.uk and write for their magazine, Harmonica World. I am 40+, live in Brighton & Hove on the south coast of England (an hour south of London by road or rail). Ironically I was born in a Hertfordshire village called Harpenden. I am married with three kids. I have been playing for over 30 years and was the UK National Harmonica Champion of 1998-99. My main job is cabin crew for Virgin Atlantic, which means I sometimes get to visit jam sessions and gigs stateside. If anyone wants to meet up, sink a Bud, talk harmonicas and help me bridge the Atlantic, just let me know!
