'MANDOLINQUENTS'
'A Take on Jake'
hosted by Simon Mayor, Gerald Garcia, Richard Collins and Hilary James

A regular series of events hosted by The Mandolinquents. Each month Britain's first modern mandolin quartet are inviting some of the finest folk and world musicians in the UK today to join them for their series of intimate gigs featuring musical virtuosity and humour.

Fellow Yorkshireman Simon Mayor presented a review of the songs and masterful wit of the late Jake Thackray. “Mr Thackray's songs are painfully funny, sad, tragic, irreverent, incisive, downright rude - often all at once!” Included The Bantam Cock, Sister Josephine, The Lodger, The Bull, The Widow of Bridlington, The Ballad of Billy Kershaw, The Castleford Ladies Magical Circle... and many more.
