Singer/songwriter Ben Taylor tempts some of his friends from London to come to the Vineyard for the summer to create and record music. First we see Ben artfully explain to his mother Carly Simon the imminent British invasion and then we follow him as he hosts David Saw, Carrie Tree, Rumor Joyce, Amity Fletcher, Jonathon Quarmby and his family.
Aside from being a gifted musician, Ben Taylor co-owns his own independent record label, Iris Records. Since this episode was shot, Iris Records has released David Saw’s latest CD, “Broken Down Figure”.
Pre-Order Ben’s new CD The Legend of Kung Folk: Part I Ben Taylor and David Saw.

Liz - thank you for visiting GTF and leaving a note on Joan. Thank you also for the wonderful site you’ve built here! I will be back often as (being from the Worc/Boston area) I’ve always held a high interest on what’s grown locally.
I’m looking forward to many fine clips/words about our music scene.
The beginning of something great is happening here.
Kevin

This is really great fun. What fun to see all these terrific artists together. One of my faves here is RUMER–what a voice!
And anyone else getting the feeling that David and Ben are fast becoming a legendary songwriting team like a modern day Rogers and Hart or Gerswhin borthers? Just amazing talents. THANKS!
Talent, Talent! Everywhere!
Loves dem Taylors and Simons and all those other folks runnin’ around tunin’ up the “MV”.
I’ll keep getting the word out that “wood music” lives forever.
Thanks…just for being.

This site is such a great find! Lots of songwriting nuggets and some insight from the other side of the island.
