What did Jake Bugg say about Happy Valley on Absolute Radio?

Jake Bugg joined Bush & Richie on the Absolute Radio Hometime Show where the conversation turned to Happy Valley.

His song Trouble Town is the theme tune to the hit BBC show.

Co-host Andy Bush asked Jake if he has to think long and hard before allowing a TV show to use one of his songs?

“Yeah, you want it to be a thing that reflects well on the music and it has to kind of have some connection and- but people tell me that it works and it’s hard, I think the writer, because you’re always thinking like it always seems detached no matter how well it works,” Jake responded, then went on to admit: “I’ve heard the show is great. I’ve not seen it!”

Even though he hasn’t seen Happy Valley, Jake told Andy that he’s had people come up to him and say that they’d found his music through watching it.

“So it’s great, you know, for your music to be, as you say, introduced to a whole different group of people,” he added.
