‘Magnificent’ (The Independent)
‘Jake Thackray and Songs’, broadcast in 1981, captures him at the height of his powers; it paints an intimate portrait of Jake as a live artist, playing to audiences in the small venues where he felt most comfortable.
This BBC-licensed DVD, professionally produced from the original BBC masters, features all of Jake’s performances from the series: thirty of his greatest songs, along with his inimitable between-songs chat and storytelling.
Also included are previously unreleased performances by three outstanding guest artists: Ralph McTell, Alex Glasgow and Pete Scott.
