I keep Jake in the same special headbox as Georges Brassens and Jacques Brel. Jake has a version of Georges' "Gare au Gorille". Not one of his best but it's a revealing homage.
Just heard from author Paul Thompson. He will be taking part in Radio 4's 'Add to Playlist' at 7.15pm this Friday, talking to Cerys Matthews about Jake's writing and life. (A short item at the start of the programme.) The Guardian is also likely to run a piece on Jake in a few weeks.
