Set List

Waterfalls- Taken from the very beautiful album 'The Butterfly Observations'

Fireflies - Fan favourite Fireflies it's always great to hear.

Alexandra Hill – First of the new songs, sure to become a favourite.

Silent Whispers - Another debut performance taken from Jake's number one Ep SXY.

Careless Whisper – The first of Jake’s covers, went down really well with the crowd, move over George Michael.

Back For Good – Another firm favourite with the crowd and also Jake.

Already Gone – Another first live performance taken from the forthcoming album 'The Butterfly Observations' a very moving and beautiful song, I hope he sings again.

From the outside the Revue Bar doesn’t look big but it has a tardis effect with an old cinema feel and numerous stairs, it was my first visit to this venue and I wasn’t disappointed, the room was very dark with a large stage slightly raised from the dance floor. The seating was in different levels and imitated old fashioned booths, in red leather with little black tables and big round globe lights on each, the bar ran along the whole of the back wall with more standing space in front of it, mostly I noticed it had a great atmosphere despite the fact the seating layout gave a certain privacy to its customers.

Wearing black shirt, jeans and grey tie Jake sang seven songs in total to a full bar, it had been almost a year since I last saw Jake perform live and I had forgotten just how good he was, starting with the very beautiful ballad Waterfalls and then onto the much loved Fireflies both songs coming from his forthcoming album ‘The Butterfly Observations’.

Written about one of Jakes favourite London views newcomer ‘Alexandra Hill’ was a great song and I’m sure will become a popular addition to Jakes set, as if this wasn’t enough next was another first, taken from Jake’s indiestore number one EP, SXY was the simplistic but emotive ‘Silent Whispers'.

I was in for a treat next when Jake did an absolutely fantastic cover version of George Michael’s ‘Careless Whisper’ one of my all time favourite songs I was totally blown away by this and so were the crowd, who began to clap and cheer and then sing along with Jake, who kept the mood going by following up with the very popular Take That song ‘Back for Good’, by this point the crowd were really hyped and there singing grew louder.

Finishing his set with another debut song, Jake sang the very heartfelt and poignant ‘Already Gone’, he gave a flawless and emotional performance to a now quiet audience. Combined with an amazing vocal performance his great sense of humour and of course some incredible songs it was without a doubt that Jake would and was well received.
