A repost for a favourite bit of TV. "Jake's Scene", from somewhere around 1971. Jake Thackray, leg in a cast, stomps around Swaledale talking to locals and just generally pretending to be a roving reporter. It's a treat, this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PlB...

Treat yourself to some gorgeous music and great chat with @roger-williams49.bsky.social on Soft Folkus
Photo of Roger Williams with information about his show Soft Folkus on Serenade Radio. It reads “SOFT FOLKUS From the flowing guitar playing and perfect harmonies of Peter, Paul and Mary to the wordplay and wit of Jake Thackray. The songs tell stories, sometimes sad, often inspirational and occasionally they make you laugh. What some people call folk music. Presented by ROGER WILLIAMS”.

Love this. For some reason it always reminds me of Jake Thackray. Must be that British Isles, singer-songwriter baritone. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK3e...

I only knew Jake Thackray for years as a single album in my collection plus my dad's "He was everywhere for a bit", but I've gradually come to realise what a talent he was. This DVD's just arrived so pleasant viewing ahoy. Here's his masterpiece, "The Bull": www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PG6...
