Time for this again? Oh, I think so. One of my favourites, this. "Jake's Scene". From 1971 : Jake Thackray with massive cast on his leg, stomps around Swaledale, meeting locals, chatting and singing. "Old Molly Metcalfe" with a choir of school children is exquisite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PlB...

I was in Swaledale at the weekend, so I had to sing Jake Thackray’s haunting ‘Old Molly Metcalfe’ in the landscape that inspired it. The weather was less bleak than it is in the song…#JakeThackray youtu.be/ReeX9UnTU3o

Jake played at our restaurant back in 92. Sold out two nights. His biographer, the brilliant @jakethackrayfan.bsky.social played here a few years back, which was a lovely moment. Thackray shouldn’t be a cult, he should be on the curriculum.
Via @jakethackrayfan.bsky.social: For my music-loving friends in/around #London, I cannot recommend this event highly enough. • JakeFest 2026: Celebrating the comic, poetic, and storytelling genius of #JakeThackray • Aug 15, 2026 • Jamboree, 6 St. Chads Place, London More info: jakethackray.com
