We have 4 guests online| THEAKSTON SPONSORS NEW JAKE THACKRAY MUSICAL |
|

T & R Theakston, the Masham-based brewer, is to sponsor a new musical stage show celebrating the life and work of the late Jake Thackray, the internationally acclaimed Swaledale-based singer/songwriter. The production, “Sister Josephine Kicks the Habit,” will bring to life many of the eccentric characters created by Jake in his 30-year career during which he was once dubbed “The Yorkshire Noel Coward.” Theakston’s director, Simon Theakston, said the decision to sponsor the production was both in recognition of Jake Thackray’s major contribution to modern culture and music and a commemoration of his close connections with the area of North Yorkshire close to Theakston’s family-owned brewery at Masham. He said: “We are delighted to be sponsoring this new show. As a company we have always had a strong association with live music and given that Jake Thackray spent so much of his life living in our part of the world writing songs about dales people, towns and villages it seemed a natural fit. He was a hugely talented craftsman and artist and we are very proud to be associated with this celebration of his life and work." |
