Jake's inspiration was from Jacques Brel and Georges Brassens. He took their styles and imported them into a personal yorkshire format that in the end had British appeal. He had a real passion. I like what I see you do but you don't have the same passion, I feel you're just doing a song and then you're off to get your next pint.

Nice to hear, good to see his songs being kept alive. Been a fan since the age of about 12, but then I'm 46 now.
Nice cover.
Everyone does the comedy songs, what about "Working another man's fields", the poignant dread of loneliness writ through the cold snows of a windswept hillside. Give that a go.



great! thanks for uploading this performance. Please do some more Jake songs!! {from probably the only 18yr old Jake fan}

Hi, thanks for your comment, we will get round to uploading some more Jake songs soon. May I also say how much I've enjoyed your versions of Sister Josephene and Castleford Ladies. Graet voice, keep up the good work.
