Hello! I'm new to all this forum mullarkey so bear with me. I first heard Jake as a child because my dad was a big fan. I remember seeing him periodically on TV and loving the word play, the lovely melodies and the storytelling of his songs. Apparently as a small child I could be heard singing Brother Gorilla in my pushchair but the less said about that the better. As I've grown up I've heard his songs less and less but have always found myself humming them during introspective moments, so went out and bought a 'best of' cd, and now completely re-love him again. Nothing makes me chuckle quite like Sister Josephine, or brings a tear to my eye like Old Molly Metcalfe. A true troubadour and poet in the French style with a liberal dose of Yorkshire good sense. Inspiring.
