Jack is indeed a Derbyshire lad, lives in a place called Kilburn. He still records and does gigs but nowhere near enough. Still the same 'Velvet Gravel' voice and classy guitar-playing. A very nice, self effacing, and HUGELY talented guy. He was a folk-icon in the late-60's & early-70's, played just about everywhere that mattered and made radio appearances, he ranked alongside the best of British artists.

Way back he was a great afficionado of Gordon Lightfoot, Paxton, Kristofferson, Jackson Brown et al. Nowadays he mostly performs self-written material which is a fusion of folk, blues and country, and very good, but if you ask him nicely he'll stick a golden oldie in such as 'Early Mornin' Rain' or 'Me & Bobby McGhee' for old times sake.

I'm very proud to say that he kindly gave me one of his songs, 'Driftwood and Nails', which I perform as often as possible.

If you're a club organiser, BOOK THE GUY! He's still a great performer. His website is:
