Hugh Taylor shows
Hugh Taylor is one of Scotland’s most seasoned and distinctive broadcasting voices, with a career that spans nearly four decades in radio, journalism, and travel writing.
He began his broadcasting journey with the much loved Westfolk Show on West Sound Radio before going on to freelance for the BBC, where he produced acclaimed folk features for BBC Radio 2 — including a celebrated three part series on The Stewarts of Blair.
After years spent travelling the world as a guidebook writer and photographer, Hugh returned to his first love: sharing great music and great stories.
His long running programme FolknStuff has become a favourite for listeners who appreciate his deep knowledge, gentle humour, and instinct for uncovering the human tales behind the tunes.
Now broadcasting on Celtic Music Radio, he continues to champion artists old and new with the warmth and curiosity that have defined his career.
Whether behind the microphone or out in the world with a notebook and camera, Hugh Taylor brings a traveller’s eye, a broadcaster’s craft, and a lifelong passion for folk culture to everything he does.
