The Jake Thackray Project was started in May 2002 and aims to promote the work of the late, great, Jake Thackray through the recordings of his work and the performance of his songs.

Phil started a discussion group and, with a few others formed the JT Project; It is now a world-wide organisation and has been in discussion with EMI over new releases, the latest of which was on November 3rd 2003. The Project will be producing a live CD of the Woolwich Tramshed Jake Thackray Festival, amongst others, and has plans for more releases and festivals. Phil is happy to devote a whole set to the songs of Jake Thackray, if requested.

The project web site contains information about available recordings (there are currently two CD's commercially available through the site), lyrics, tabs and chords, merchandise and the latest events. Do check it out, it's great site. It also has a bulletin board with many threads including some about George Brassens and non-related topics.

It acts as an authority on all things Jake and has the support of his widow, Sheila, and Ralph McTell.
