Pigeon went to The Great Escape in Brighton yesterday. If you're not familiar with The Great Escape it's a UK music event where lots of bands play in lots of venues across Brighton.

Where an artist grows up has a huge impact on their music - whether they left or even fled, or remained there forever - the compositions and lyrics are often strongly influenced by the house or people, or experiences, throughout their career.

We feel that's over the top but the working class attitude of the town and it's rough spots have no doubt been recognised in Jake's gritty but at times [...]

So the influences here are obvious; Cash, Zimmerman, Don McLean, etc. You've heard this "Greatest Folk Heroes of the Western World" aping before. But you've probably never heard it pulled off quite like this and by a 17 YEAR OLD. Jake Bugg is a 17 YEAR OLD kid from Nottingham. If Jake can keep up the work ethic, think about what someone with his talent will sound like at 21, 25, and so on.

Released as a single last week, Trouble Town has already been receiving support from such notable people as Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens, which means that Jake Bugg has gotten off to a hell of a start - and well he should, because the 17-year-old from Nottingham has written a song that does far more than keep up with the zeitgeist; it captures [...]
