This man was a genius. A great guitar player with a gymnastic tongue. A very, very rare talent indeed. The BBC hierarchy should be ashamed of themselves.
Northern English humour gathers dust in the vaults, lest it's written by the "in-crowd" or ridiculing us.
How appalling.
This man deserves better.
RIP Sir.

@ericamydear I remember watching Jake when i was a little kid living in Wimbledon in the sixties, pleb! Me!.....I don't think so.

A unique talent, an acquired taste perhaps but a definite English eccentric... not fitting the mainstream of entertainment.

Isn't that the jazz guitarist Ike Isaacs in the background playing some very nice melodic fills? Excellent stuff!
-
This is great, but the sound is out of synch with the picture

I can't remember where, but years ago I read someone approvingly describe his style and lyricism as "Noel Coward meets George Formby," which I thought put it well. And yes, I know Formby was from Lancashire.

Anyone else think there's a hint of Noel Coward in Jake's vocal delivery?!?

We saw Jake at the Theatre Royal - Lincoln. A great turn but a bit weird!
