Jake Arnott
Another chance to hear Jake Arnott sharing the music that inspires him.
Another chance to hear Jake Arnott sharing the music that inspires him.
Music has played a big part in shaping Jake's life. He once interviewed Morrissey for Time Out and in Johnny Come Home the protagonist is a 1970s glam rock star. Jake also made a cameo appearance in Telstar, the film biopic about cult 60s record producer Joe Meek. David Bowie is a big fan of Jake's work. The musician comments that: "whenever he's got a new book out, I drop everything, knowing that the next couple of hours are going to be pure gangland bliss."
Jake reads an extract of The House of Rumour, and his musical selections include the Clash, Nina Simone, Althea and Donna, Wire, Augustus Pablo, the Smiths, PM Dawn and, of course, David Bowie.
