a star was born on britains got talent an unknown country publican a mr jackie leven stole the judges hearts with his own song janice last night and the world sat up and listend if only
Was so looking forward to his gig at the bowling club, - I will miss him, - saw him a couple of times in the last few years and was blown away , guitar, patter he had it all. We have lost a true poet . .................
Just discovered him after his death, via an article in WORD magazine. Fucking brilliant. Been listening solid to him for 3 weeks now. Very gifted, and very unique.
You rue the things you didn't do far more than the ones you do that turn out wrong. I'll always regret never seeing Jackie live. His music will live forever in my heart.
I first saw Jackie Leven play live in 1997 at the Edinburgh Festival. Of course I bought Fairytales for Hard Men straight afterwards and continued to see him play live almost annually thereafter. An amazing talent and a great guy. Thanks Jackie and RIP
