The Jake Leg Jug Band

Now firmly established as local favourites, the Jake Leg Jug Band return to Filey with the welcome addition of award winning saxophonist and clairinetist, Alex Clarke.

They recently released a great double album, Live at Audley Theatre.

The Jake Leg Jug Band bring you the authentic sounds of 1920’s and 30’s America – Jazz, Blues, Gospel, Ragtime – and put their own twist on it. Songs of murder, betrayal, gambling, liquor and redemption.

Signed to one of the UK’s most prestigious Jazz labels ‘Lake Records’ they record their albums as part of the ‘Vintage Recording Project’ essentially recording all live around ribbon microphones, as it would have been back in the 1930’s. Six albums released in the last seven years; ‘Cotton Mouth’, ‘Next Stop!’ ‘Everythin’s Jake’ and ‘Break a Leg’ have all met with rave reviews;
