About the event

By popular demand, another Jake Thackray evening, with Paul Thompson
Mixing colourful readings from Jake’s unsung writing with talking about his life and performing some of his songs.

Hilarious, irreverent, poignant, fanciful, quirky, poetic, imaginative, original. Jake Thackray was a storytelling genius who loved using words to entertain, move, surprise and provoke. While his extraordinary songs are rightly celebrated, they were not the beginning of his life as a writer, nor the end.

Jake Thackray – The Unsung Writer gives us the chance to explore his other writing: love poetry, an experimental short story, his charming script for a school musical, amusing pen portraits, his first published work, tall tales crafted for his concerts, and his acclaimed, colourful columns for the Yorkshire Post and Catholic Herald.

Paul Thompson, co-author of the acclaimed biography, Beware of the Bull – The Enigmatic Genius of Jake Thackray and author of the new Jake Thackray – The Unsung Writer.
