A switch flicked one day when I realised this newsletter could be about something more than trying to make me look impressive and asking things of you. I could just talk normally, share songs and ideas and chat.
There are days, however, where I happen to have something to sell, and this is just one of them.
Let’s not get all shy about it either. Artists need audiences, and making music is what I do. So when I make a record and go out to a room you can generally expect to be invited.
If you can, I’d love you to buy some tickets. Today if possible. Share the links with your friends. That said, honestly no pressure. Do what feels good. And if money is the thing that stands in your way, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
Here are the dates so far:
Friday 23rd September - Totnes Barrel House. Tickets.
Friday 30th September - Coatbridge Georgian Hotel. Tickets.
Sunday 2nd October - North Yorkshire Old School House. Tickets.
Monday 3rd October - Leeds Oporto. Tickets coming soon.
Thursday 13th October - Suffolk Sprat Shed. Tickets.
Sunday 16th October - London Green Note. Tickets.
Friday 21st October - Brighton Folklore Rooms. Tickets.
Saturday 22nd October - Winchester Railway Inn. Tickets.
Wednesday 26th October - Manchester Rose & Monkey. Tickets.
Thursday 27th October - Nottingham Running Horse. Tickets.
Here are all the dates on a map.
Here are all the dates in a nice list.
Anyone with a passing knowledge of geography can tell there are either missing dates here or suspect route planning. To be quite honest it’s a little of each, but you can definitely expect more dates to go on sale soon in places like Bristol, Leeds, Kendal, Scotland, maybe a few others too.
After a wonderful unplugged filmed gig in London last night, I’m so so in the mood for these. Really hope you can join one.
Right, that’s my pitch. I’ll be back to sharing random songs again next week. Got a belter lined up for you, and quite a tale to tell about it…
Love Jake
Holding out for Bristol dates! Amazing gig last night 🙌🙌🙌
Amazing. Will hopefully go to Winchester gig. Wanna support an artist getting back out there!
