For anyone lucky enough to have been at one of the thousands of such gigs Jake played over the years, they were unforgettable evenings, full of warmth, humanity and laughter. Luckily, on this night in Somerton, someone had a VHS camcorder to hand, and Jake’s performance was captured for posterity. This DVD contains the whole show, including all the songs and legendary 'talking bits'. Jake is on top form, performing such classics as 'On Again! On Again!', ‘Bantam Cock’ and 'Sister Josephine', as well as rare gems such as 'Tortoise' and 'Our Dog'. ‘Jake Thackray – Live at The Unicorn’ gives an intimate and unique insight into Jake’s brilliance as a performer.
