Thread Name: Lyr Req: songs by Jake Thackray
Subject: RE: Looking for Jake Thackray songs
In a fit of pedantry, may I add to Ian Pittaway's comments that, as well as the radio performances to which he refers, there remains a small number of songs which Jake performed on TV which have yet to return to the public light of day. There are also some decent quality live recordings floating about (including the "Live in Germany" cd now available via www.jakethackray.com which - declaring an interest - I produced). We aim to getmore of this into the public domain in due course.

As well as the Scarborough Jakefest (which follows the Woolwich, Torrington and Edinburgh Jakefests), several of us perform evenings of Jake's songs around the country, most recently in Knutsford Cheshire in February and, last weekend, a well received set at the Holmfirth Festival of Folk as "The Jake Thackray Experience". We can be contacted via the website where I appear as 'aliasmacalias'.
