Hak Baker is an absolute one-off.
Clash Live put the East London songwriter on at Metropolis Studios earlier in the year, and his genial soul – fortified by a full bottle of tequila – had the audience in the palm of his hand.
Stark but humane and often hilariously funny, the bittersweet edge to Hak's songs has turned him into a word-of-mouth star.
Invited to appear on Later… with Jools Holland he grabbed his guitar and rocked on up to the studio, eager to spread the word.
Performing 'Conundrum' – with its infectious "sunny East London…" chorus – it was the perfect introduction, a remarkable television moment from a gifted artist.
