Jake Thackeray

Put a note in your diary for April 18th, 10-00pm, radio 2.
There's a documentary about the above.

Not sure Tony, I only remember him on "That's Life." I saw him in pantomime once, when he played Widow Twanky.

[tonyav]

Blimey, I can't imagine him in panto, marval.

[marval]

He was very good Tony.

[Jackdaw33]

He was a frequent panellist on "What's My Line?", as was David Nixon.

Given it a listen Melv; although pleasant enough I thought that particular track a bit mundane - may give the programme a chance though.

(You have to listen to one I'm currently enjoying now - bit different to yours though)

[melv16]

I like them, captain.

[Captain2]

Nice one; they are on my Bucket List - get to New Orleans and see them live (I'm also madly in love with the girl playing the washboard - Dizzi)

[jourdain2]

Loved Jake Thackeray - and grew up with the 'Odd Odes' - need a programme on them.
Thanks for the forewarning, melv.

Good aren't they, they only need a tea chest double bass and they'd be a full blown skiffle band.
