Fake Thackery. Wednesday 8th May
John Watterson, currently supporting Fairport Convention on their national tour, will be performing the legendary songs of Jake Thackery. Tickets £10. 8pm – 10.30pm.
‘“Jake Thackray’s songs are funny, poignant, witty, tricky, romantic and wise. They are also very hard to perform and that is one of the reasons we don’t hear them so much. John Watterson has made a proper tribute to this unique British song writer. Not only has he taken great care to replicate Jakes phrasing and emphasis but he has managed to play guitar in Jake’s style too. John is now bringing this wonderful work to a new public who will no doubt love them as much as Jake’s old fans. It is marvellous that Jake Thackray’s treasured songs ride again. They are in safe hands.”
