TWTD Folky Crowd. 10:39 - Aug 11 with 1087 viewsBlueBadger

A wonderful article about the much underrated Jake Thackray. There's a biography coming out soon.

Who's Jack Thackray? His brother Jake is quite good though.

I really must get my Jake LPs out and listen to them. Ditto Ralph Mctell.

Its also worth remembering the comics who came out of the folk scene like Max Boyce, Jasper Carrot and of course Billy Connolly

He was a friend of a girl in our year at uni and gave a pleasant enough concert in our front room in a rather shabby flat in Clifton to a crowd of about 12. I’d concur that he was a nice bloke - but I’ve not listened to him before or since.

I fell asleep at a Ralph McTell concert at Colsten Hall the same year - so I guess I’m not a folkie. Though most of us could find a Fairport Convention album or two in our collections

As a general rule, The Banter at folk gigs is generally of high standard. Eliza Carthy is superb at it, as is, surprisingly, Richard Thompson.

I know its not 'folk' as such but have you seen clips of Steve Martin banjo playing?

Do you know this bloke Badger? The album is astonishingly good.

I have always thought of Jake more in the line of chanson (think Jacques Brel) rather than folk.

But these are just labels, he was a fine song writer and performer.
