John Watterson

John Watterson has performed the songs of Jake Thackray at festivals, concerts, clubs, after dinner venues and - most specially - to members of Jake's family.

Jake's songs are exquisitely funny, satirical, incisive, irreverent, witty and gloriously un-PC - and sometimes all of these at the same time. Jake was a one off, his poetry broke the rules yet worked beautifully. He was a true craftsman of the English language, and his legacy of scores of songs continues to delight audiences of all ages today.
