Jake Thackray's unique genius for observation makes one smile, frown and almost weep in rapid succession. All human life (and death) is here. What a talent!
Gnomie Cakes son of a cucumber!!!
Diane Wailes I once heard him do a song about the family dog - 'he's nice, so nice, people who burgle us, burgle us twice' (or something like that). Does anyone know it? I haven't heard it since.

Robert Scott Saw Jake 4 times in the late 1980's, still listening to his music, still astounded by the brilliance of the words this man put to music.
Scott Discovered Jake just last year when a friend played Lah-di-dah at a party. Unique!
Ben Farrington Any of those lovely performances with John Etheridge and Alan Williams?
Jake Thackray Cross my heart, love, I'll keep off the Pale Ale........
