Get to know Hudson Taylor: “Alfie’s biggest fear is a bad hair day!”

We sit down with the Hudson Taylor brothers to find out just how well they know each other.

Hudson Taylor may not be a household name yet, but with a stint supporting Jake Bugg on his UK tour underway, their new single Chasing Rubies out this week AND their own headline tour on the horizon, the dublin-born brothers are well on their way.

And finally, what is the best song you’ve ever recorded?

Alfie: "Called On. The experience of recording that song was really cool. It was a time where we weren’t necessarily nailing recordings and then we worked with this one guy who we really got along with and he totally just opened a load of doors for us. I remember we got back to the room where we were staying in America and listened to it, and were just like 'Yesss, thank god!'"

Harry: "Butterflies. It was something that we had already recorded and then we went and recorded it with Iain Archer, who we’ve recorded most of our album with, and he reinvented it slightly and I really like where it went."
