Isy Suttie on Jake Thackray
from Great Lives Hosted by BBC Radio 4
Jake Thackray hated being known as the north country Noel Coward, but at the height of his fame the description stuck. His songs are very British, but his influences were European - Georges Brassens and Jacques Brel. Nominating Jake Thackray is Isy Suttie (Dobby from TV's Peep Show and star of the A-Z of Mrs P). The expert witness is performer Fake Thackray aka John Watterson. Presented by Matthew Parris. Producer: Miles Warde First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in May 2014.
