Jay Taylor - Senior Press Officer

Jay is our main man here at Decade. What he doesn't know about promoting bands isn't worth knowing.

He cut his industry teeth working as a freelancer for various mags including Rock Sound, but has also written for The Independent.

With a solid grounding in generating publicity in the alternative world, Jay's now found his perfect home here at Decade working with some of the best new bands around and some of the biggest and established artists that the scene has produced over the years.

Want to speak to Jay about your PR needs? Simply head to a (formerly) smokey bar in town where you'll find him stroking his chin and talking about how great 'The National' are. Or you can drop him an email here. Up to you!
