Jamie McC Origins: Black Swan by Jake Thackray (13) RE: Origins: Black Swan by Jake Thackray 18 Dec 14

I don't know where the Black Swan in the song was, or even if he just picked a pub name out of the air, but I've always had some idea that it was in Helmsley. I think Jake had some connection with the place - was it there that his dad was the local policeman? Or I may be completely befuddled. I'm sure if you put the question up on the forum at jakethackray.com someone with more knowledge than me might come forward.

Oh, and where does the song suggest the pub has closed?
