 Re:New member? - 2005/02/21 00:02 Hey, this is worth listening to - one of the first folk clubs where I heard Jake has just been mentioned - The Boggery (yes it really was called that) and Malcolm Stent was talking about it. OK you probably haven't heard of Malcolm Stent but he was around with Jake and Jasper (Carrott) in our area, and he still performs to great applomb (whatever that is!) (Mind you, he said it was in Birmingham, and it wasn't at all, it was in Solihull, but to some people it's the same thing (iggorant lot)

Listen to it if you can, fair brings back some memories............

Hello Gillian ~ thanks for your message on the other thread and welcome to the Jake Thackray Project site. Things are pretty quiet around here over the holiday so you may not get much response straight away. It is good to know that Jake is still making new converts among young musicians and music lovers - (I think I am probably the oldest here at 78) - and particularly good to know of a woman performer of his work, of whom there seem to be very few. Keep an eye out here* for the dates of forthcoming Jakefests, when performers and fans alike get together to enjoy orgies of his music, good company, fun and beer!

* particularly in the Project section of the Discussion Forum, where there is information about a proposed Jakefest at Easter

 Re:New member? - 2006/01/02 15:47 Hello Magic Gillian

You sound like you'll fit right in! and Magic Gillian sounds like a wonderful companion for the Thelovelyfiona. One of the things which you'll spot here is that a number of us try to keep Jake's music alive by performing it - are you interested in joining our roster of fine artistes?

Cheers

Ian I got boogie, boogie, in my socks
