Birmingham Promoters Proudly Present JAKE BUGG
Looking like a young, rugged Ian Brown and sounding like Bob Dylan, Jake Bugg is
2012′s answer to Alex Turner.
A teenage singer songwriter with man-size talent, Jake Buggʼs arresting vocals sound as
though they are from another era. First picking-up a guitar at the age of twelve, the young
romantic began to write spine-tingling tunes about devastating love and heartbroken woes
when he was just fourteen. Unusually confident and forthright, heʼs a proper scally with
awesome stage presence. Arriving onto the radar last year after his performance on the
BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury seventeen-year-old Jake is now signed to Mercury
and recently unveiled his debut single ʻTrouble Townʼ which Zane Lowe swiftly earmarked
as his ʻSingle of the Weekʼ. Still a Clifton, Nottingham boy born and bred, this Northern
soul prefers hanging-out at his mate Jazʼs yard to spending time in The Big Smoke and
never leaves home without his phone or lighter. His songs are for lovers, running away just
for Valentineʼs Day.
What was the first song you ever learnt to play on the guitar? ʻMad Worldʼ was the
first song and the first riff was ʻDay Tripperʼ. Which person has had the single greatest
impact on your sound? Probably Don McLean or Donovan itʼs hard to say. Tell us about
the first gig you ever played… I was about 14 or 15 and if I remember rightly the crowd
was decent and I wore a tracksuit top. I enjoyed it very much. How do you feel when you
listen back to your music? When I listen to my music, I listen to see how I can improve
it. I canʼt say Iʼve ever enjoyed listening to it, but you have to get used to that. Whatʼs your
favourite class at school? Probably P.E. to be honest. If you werenʼt pursuing a career
in music what would be your dream job? Being a footballer would be cool. Lyrically
what are your songs about? A number of things, most of them are about girls. Where do
you buy your clothes? Fred Perry, Burberry, Lacoste, J.D, whateverʼs comfortable. If i-D
online could grant you three wishes what would they be? Let my album do well, bring
Hendrix back to life so I can jam with him and and take me back in time to see The Beatles
live. What are your top 5 hang out spots in Notts? 1. Fairham Fields. 2. My mate Jazʼs
yard. 3. Spring Onion. 4. Black Path. 5. Up the shops.
