Jay Jay Pistolet

Calling many of the shots in 2008's who's who of nu-folk, Jay Jay Pistolet (with a Gallic pronouciation...) is enjoying his cult status amongst such London folkie types (and fellow Miloco clients) as Kid Harpoon, Emmy The Great and Noah and the Whale. When he nipped in for a summer Weekend's recording in The Pool with Interface engineer Mark Rankin, we had some ink-on-paper waiting patiently for one of those all important Pistolet-breaks.
