ROBBIE Williams' guitarist Neil Taylor, from Bradford on Avon, has used his time away from touring the world to work on his own album.
Mr Taylor, 47, of Coppice Hill, has collaborated with renowned singer/songwriter Steve Torch to produce his first joint album called Bullets for Angels.
The guitarist, who has lived in Bradford for four years, has worked with Tina Turner, Tears For Fears and Van Morrison before joining Robbie in 2001 to work on the artist's Sing When You Are Winning album.
He was asked to join Robbie's band in 2002 and is recording and writing his own music in between performing with the ex-Take That star.
Mr Taylor, who grew up in Bristol, said: "The album is kind of a rock album. It is very guitar based."
Making his own album is a personal triumph although Mr Taylor classes being in Robbie's band as the highpoint of his career.
He said: "He is amazing to work with. For me it is a dream come true.
"When I first got the gig with Robbie I just couldn't believe it.
"I feel I am at the top of my tree, especially working with Robbie. For me he is the best."
Bullets For Angels is available to buy online for £8. It is available to order from his website www.silvermusic.tv or www.myspace.com/bulletsforangels.
Mr Taylor is also planning to release his own pop rock album at the end of the year, Despite rumours that Robbie is on strike from the music industry, Mr Taylor said: "He is just taking his time.
"He's probably going to release an album next year I would've thought."
