Jeremy Taylor, born on November 24, 1937, in Newbury, Berkshire, England, is a distinguished folk singer-songwriter renowned for his satirical compositions that humorously critique societal norms. After studying French and Italian at Trinity College, Oxford, Taylor moved to Johannesburg, South Africa, where he taught English and began performing in local coffee bars. His breakout hit, "Ag Pleez Deddy," became a chart-topping success in South Africa, leading to his involvement in the acclaimed musical revue "Wait a Minim!" Taylor's sharp wit and insightful lyrics, often addressing the absurdities of apartheid-era South Africa, led to his eventual return to the UK. There, he continued to captivate audiences with songs like "Jobsworth" and "Prawns in the Game," solidifying his reputation as a masterful storyteller and satirist in the folk music scene.
