Two More Suckers For The Stew 3:41
Released February 28, 2022
Hailing from the North of England and currently hiding from everybody he upset there in West Cork, Jake has managed to successfully avoid anything vaguely resembling a career and has instead devoted all the spare time required to be successful in a proper job to attempting to write the perfect pop song. Several near misses litter his past (as well as hundreds that sailed aimlessly into the bleachers)
He played his first ever gig in 1982 aged 12 at the Trinity youth club in Barnsley and despite being bullied mercilessly by the bigger boys for being a girlie show-off the taste for performing has never gone sour.
He has been in several profoundly unmarketable bands through the decades; one which was notably slated by Richard “virgin” Branson as “a triumph of art over commerce and therefore totally unsignable”...
But this album 'Tricks of The Trade Won't Save The Day has seen a change in fortunes...
Recorded and mixed in just two days in the summer of 2019, mainly comprising of first or second takes of the songs. Playing all instruments and handling all vocal duties alone, this album exudes a freshness and immediacy that has captured the hearts of everyone who has heard it.
