Hi, this is my first post. My DVD arrived today and I’m looking forward to watching tonight. I saw the original programmes back in 81. I first saw Jake on the Braden show and then saw him at a local folk festival in Runcorn in 1979 when I was 20 years old and that was the first time I’d seen him live. Saw him some years later maybe mid to late 80s at Wigan Pier.
I love his music. I have a couple of vinyl albums, greatest hits and the album that accompanied the BBC shows. What a genius, what a brilliant lyricist and storyteller.
