He said: “The first direct was the only real next option. It was always a dream of mine to do a show there and we had an opening that allowed us to make it happen.

“I’m absolutely buzzing for the show, I don’t actually get nervous for these things like a lot of acts. This is the reason I started in the first place, to be on big stages. So to be able to make it happen myself in my home town is absolutely mind blowing.”

Eighteen months ago, Taylor, who has done 100 shows this year including clubs in Mallorca, Zante, Ayia Napa and Malia sold out The Church and then the O2 Academy.
