The Castleford Ladies Magic Circle - Jake Thackray cover

[boarose]

living next to Cas it's a big favourite round here...you've done it proud

[davemacleod]

Love it. Very impressive.

[unclealister]

Brilliant. You sound just like Jake. I first heard him do this song on the BBC's Saturday late night show 'Braden's Week' (with Bernard Braden) back in 1968. Jake was a regular on Braden's Week. Your performance gets five stars from me.

[sheepsick]

it is a mime - innit - 'conman' is that a clue?

[bigconman36]

Hi there, please don't be fooled by my Youtube Username, that is me singing - no miming.

I have had a few comments saying i "must be miming" - which I take as a big compliment - as My aim was to sound as much like Jake as possible. I've managed to imitate Jake's fingerpicking guitar style now - rather than my strumming on this vid,

cheers,

Mark

[renault25]

superb!

well done mate :)

[lyndseypompom]

excellent! well done indeed

[boondoggle6]

an enjoyable romp through a jake favourite, done with great dash, Genius Apples.

[Janethecopywriter]

Fantastic! You've got a great voice and you cover the song really well -- you don't just try to imitate Jake. And it works! Are there more?????

[HPF141515]

When I realised that this was a cover I nearly didn't play it. I am really pleased I did though. Your rendition is excellent. Thanks

[lgi6868]

I echo Killcrazy comments totally but thanks all the same for keeping this great music alive good on yer lad From Ade in Leeds

[kneonlight]

Splendid!

[nige2046]

al tell thi wot. gud on ya mi sun

[dickieburnett]

Good to hear it again - techy critique: your voice seems in the background,do you need better sound recording nd more frames per second so thatyou don't look like you're miming!!

[jamierourketen]

you are miming to jakes voice.... no your not ...... wow that is so cooooooooool!

[delcafc]

Enjoyed that JT was great man, nice version!

[sturdle]

Great tribute to a great man... impressed, added a bit of betterness to the time of year  thanks..

[ROCKYROSIE2]

Shit hot. Respect my man.

[killcrazy26]

Nice one...

Echo, guitar down, more voice... and slow it down a little, this feels a tad rushed and thats one thing i always noticed about Jake.... he could fit unfeasibly long words into a line, and never rushed a lyric.

[rufusrankin]

very enjoyable, I think your voice on the rendition of "The Widow of Brid" is possibly nearer to Jake's - but you are doing a service by bringing Jake's music to us.

[alafamin]

Excellent Mark ! Keep up the great work....extremely entertaining for all ages !

[marcusvanstory]

Fantastic. Great to see that Jake's music is being kept alive.

[sunshinemountain]

yeah you're really good. you're very good at imitating people's voice. i agree, turn your guitar down we wanna hear your voice!!

[eddyO5]

Excellent, and thanks for letting Orient have Dean Smith back!

[JakeThackrayfan]

Really good rendition. I assume you have signed up to the Jake Thackray Project website. If so, have you thought of performing at one of the 'Jakefests'? You should, I reckon.

[longtoothslim]

jakefest? tell me more!

[onestephill]

lovley! love it. would you be able to attempt 'The Hair of the Widow of Bridlington'?

[Mister42]

Excellent. Less reverb on the vocal, and turn the guitar amp down and use your own voice. You need to be a bit more "plummy" in the lower register to get the take off just right and then tackle "On Again, On Again".

[ottergal]

Love it! Great to hear Thackray's stuff. Great voice too.

[depcont]

Another great effort.could I just suggest something?Drop the reverb on the vocal,your voice is good quality and strong enough and it would help those tricky lyrics come across.Also turn the guitar down a touch.Keep it up.MORE!

[jake1960]

Great stuff - very good.

[Glaznoz]

Bravo! Well done!

[bigconman36]

Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated
