About An Audience Without Jake Or Les - John Watterson Celebrates the Works of Jake Thackray & Les Barker - The Craven Arms

John Watterson brings his superb show, celebrating the hilarious works of Jake Thackray and Les Barker - two of our finest and funniest songwriter poets - to the Cruck Barn at last!

Jake Thackray was one of the finest songwriters of the 20th century, and Les Barker, who sadly passed away in January 2023, was one of the UK's finest and funniest wordsmiths, once described as 'the best Poet Laureate we never had'. John brings together the work of these two incredible and much-missed talents.
