a number of years ago i heard a track on the radio by jake thackray, up until then id never heard of him but the lyrical genius just blew me away, so i went out and bought some of his cds.
for those who have never came across him, hes like a cross between noel coward and george formby, i think he was once dubbed 'the north country noel coward. hes unapologetically british, his guitar playing is staggeringly good, his lyrics are superb and a little bit saucy with a wonderful take on english life.
ive been listening to him this morning and just thought id spread the love
