Timeline

1953

Simon Mayor (born 1953) is an English mandolinist, fiddle player, guitarist, composer and humorist.

He is noted for a series of instrumental albums featuring the mandolin, live performances with his partner Hilary James and his groups The Mandolinquents and Slim Panatella & the Mellow Virginians, and (with Hilary James) for writing and performing for children.

He has produced a series of instructional books and DVDs for the mandolin, and is also a regular columnist for Acoustic magazine, along with Martin Taylor, Doyle Dykes, Gordon Giltrap, Maartin Allcock and Julie Ellison.

Mayor cites fiddler and mandolinist Dave Swarbrick as a teenage musical influence, after being taught to sing in tonic sol-fa by his father when very young.

1990

With his solo debut The Mandolin Album in 1990 he embarked on a series of recordings with the stated aim of giving the mandolin a uniquely British voice.

The CD was made Recording of the Week on BBC Radio 2.

His mix of original and traditional material alongside classical pieces has been noted by BBC World Service (Recording of the Week), Q, Cosmopolitan, Living Tradition (Scotland) and Sing Out! (U.S).

1997

The quartet emerged from a 1997 line up, The Mandolin All-stars with multi-instrumentalists Maartin Allcock and Chris Leslie of Fairport Convention, and longtime musical partner, Hilary James.

The Mandolinquents now includes the classical guitarist Gerald Garcia, multi-instrumentalist Richard Collins, and James on mandobass and vocals.

He played swing fiddle on the album for the show Five Guys Named Moe, and plays fiddle with his occasional trio Slim Panatella & the Mellow Virginians.

Mayor and James have also written satirical and topical songs for BBC news programmes including Newsnight.

An admirer of fellow Yorkshireman the late Jake Thackray, Mayor occasionally performs a special programme of Thackray's songs.

Mayor tours regularly with James.

The duo have worked extensively with young people, mostly in theatres and schools, and have written over fifty children's songs, many for their own Musical Mystery Tour children's CDs, and the Musical Mystery Tour songbook, which was published by Faber Music.

Their work had featured widely on the BBC.

For six years, they were regular hosts of BBC School Radio's The Song Tree.

They also wrote for, and on occasion presented, BBC's Play School, The Listening Corner and Play Days.

In addition, Mayor worked as multi-instrumental session musician for other BBC radio programmes Singing Together, Music Workshop and Time and Tune.

Their songs have been used extensively in education, including English language teaching courses for Danish schoolchildren.

1999

Alongside their other websites, they set up Childrensmusic.co.uk in 1999.

(with Hilary James - for children)

2000
