Last weekend I stayed in The Hobbit about 1000 feet above Sowerby Bridge and met these three charming young ladies who looked exactly the same. In with a chance here I thought and discovered it was one very busy lady named Jaqui and on chatting her up I discovered her dad was a Royal Marine about the time I was a young man whizzing about in helicopters in far flung lands. It seems her dad was probably one of my passengers.
Hey Ho you can’t turn the clock back, besides she was engaged to an ex R.A.F. bloke called Mark
So I chatted to Mark about Jake and he knows many of Jake’s songs. Not only that but he also runs a recording studio and is well in with many of the local Yorkshire balladeers; as sort of ‘next generation’ to our Jake.
The Hobbit has a space for an ‘artiste’ or two and Mark would rig the sound system. It occurs to me that it would be a great spot to do a Jake gig and most could stay at the Hobbit and when filled up there are two or three other hostelries close by for the latecomers. Any takers?
