BBC Radio 1 - Radio 1 Stories, Jake Bugg

Jake Bugg takes Zane Lowe around Nottingham on the day of his sold-out homecoming gig.

Jake Bugg takes Radio 1's Zane Lowe around his home town of Nottingham on the day of his sold-out homecoming gig.

Jake Bugg takes Zane Lowe around his home town of Nottingham on the day of his sold-out homecoming gig. 

Starting out at his home in Clifton, which was at one time the biggest council estate in the UK and an inspiration for many of the songs on his album, Jake shows us the bedroom where he practised guitar for hours on end and started writing the lyrics that have a depth and wisdom beyond his 18 years of age. Zane has a cup of tea with his mum, gets taken to where the lads hung out after school, and heads to Meadow Lane, home of Notts County Football Club, of which Jake is a lifelong supporter. Later they head to the pub to chat about music and meet up with BBC Radio Nottingham's Dean Jackson, who first played Jake's demo on his BBC Introducing show, bringing this undeniable talent to a wider audience for the first time.
