RYAN TAYLOR DOYLE
Is it a bird, is it a plane, no it's another bloody singer song writer!!!
After years of trying to put the perfect band together and failing miserably,
Ryan Taylor Doyle , has finally put the drums, bass and keys away ...
leaving just him an electric guitar, a vocal and an over sized bag of angst ...
hopefully leaving behind the misconception that all singer song writers are
folk singing, rich kids rebelling against their parents........
