Jake Thackray was a singer-songwriter in the French tradition, a chansonnier whose songs are nevertheless convincingly and idiosyncratically English.









You know when a show starts off with a bit of Jake Thackray you’re on to a good one. Loved seeing @BRyderJones in Brighton.



On 21st March, 8 till 10pm GMT, I’ll be on Radio Warrington playing tracks from my album and talking about the songs, #JakeThackray and his guitar, Nadine. To hear some long-lost Thackray songs unheard for 50 years, listen on AM, DAB or here: player.aiir.com/radiowarringto…

If you're a fan of #JakeThackray and frankly who isn't, you will seriously enjoy this album. Paul's played here twice now and is the closest thing to hearing the great man himself. Stream it now, folks.

My new album has just landed. #PlayingwithNadine😁







Remember Bethlehem, by Jake Thackray. Beautifully written for children’s voices, performed by children in Jake’s hometown of Monmouth. habsmonmouth.org/monmouth-prep-… @Habsmonmouth @BBCRadioWales @cerysmatthews @jakethackrayfan
