Herefordshire songwriter Jakey Boy Hughes creates melodic tunes matched with contemplative and personal narratives. Influenced by the great songwriting tradition of legends such as Lennon, McCartney, Brian Wilson and Eliott Smith, as well as contemporary songsmiths Alex Turner and Big Thief, Jake sings original ballads with a steady voice and dreamy undertones. He has performed on exciting stages across the country, from the Cambridge Folk Festival to the Barbican Centre, and has amassed ninety original songs broadcast on the BBC, including BBC6Music, BBCWales, BBCRadio4 and BBCIntroducing, receiving support from Charlotte Church (BBCRadio4), Tom Robinson (BBC6Music) and Adam Walton (BBCWales) in recent years.
