[edit] Tom Robinson Band
His career started when he gave a friend a lift to an audition as bass guitarist for the Tom Robinson Band in 1976. As the band had no drummer at that point, Dolphin (who was already a drummer) filled in. By the end of the evening, the band was still looking for a bass guitarist, but had found their drummer. He stayed for two years, eventually resigning in 1978.
[edit] Stiff Little Fingers
In 1982 he joined Stiff Little Fingers, playing on the £1.10 or less EP, and the Now Then... album, before the band split in 1983. Between 1983 and 1987 when SLF reformed, Taylor did some session work, and also drummed for Spear of Destiny. 1987 saw him in the reformed SLF, with whom he stayed until 1996, playing on 1991's Flags and Emblems and 1994's Get a Life.
[edit] Post-SLF
In 1997 he and one time SLF manager Russell Emanuel set up Extreme Music, a company that composes and sells production music.
