He works as a freelance musical director, accompanist, composer and coach in theatres and education across London and the South East. Jake is a writer (as Jason Charles) and actor. Thanks very much to Ben Hooper for mastering and playing violin on Bodysnatcher and I Like It When You Hurt Me, and to William Burrows for playing Cello.Thanks very much to Jon Revell from the band Dorothy Sebastian for recording Beyond the Skin with Jake.We are currently recording, so expect some more songs soon!We are also looking for a London based string player and a bassist to join us.
