Jake Pollock

Alba gu Bràth out now !

Dumfries born singer songwriter and tartan army fanatic; Jake Pollock has had a crack at writing the song for the Euros in Germany this summer. The tartan army loves a sing song and many anthems have got us by over the years like, Loch Lomond, Flower of Scotland, Yes Sir I can Boogie amongst many others. So, what’s the harm in adding one more to that mix.
Come on Scotland !!

Jake Pollocks music involves some thought provoking lyrics about his journeys and discoveries through life on top of an acoustic guitar.
His debut song “You Only Live Once” was written and recorded only 4 months after Jake first picked up a guitar. It was first released in 2019 as part of the The St Joseph’s College Podcast. Despite being viewed by some as a rather depressing song, “YOLO” was always a song about building self belief and making the most of all the opportunities life throws at you.
After a four year wait Jake finally made his return in March 2023 releasing his second single Wishing Away. This song was written about Scotlands defeat to Ukraine in the World Cup qualifiers and is about hope and how it always comes and goes away. Once things don’t go to plan we all started Wishing Away to when before it began, when there was a chance to sneak in through that window and make it all the way.
Jake’s third and most recent single Dead Again brings about a change of tone from his first two. The main theme of the song is about letting go and moving.
