Jake Thackray was truly a genius. Are you aware of what’s on the Jake Thackray website, and also the two books about him?

If you want to delve into Jake’s wonderful prose writing (and a little poetry), have a look at the new anthology, Jake Thackray - The Unsung Writer.

A great first live performance! He was truly remarkable on stage. Great material, including a DVD and CD, available on the Jake Thackray website, and I’m proud to have written two books.
