Jake bugg proves to be contagious

JAKE BUGG is taking it in his stride. “Supporting Noel Gallagher was an odd experience,” he says. “The crowds were great. It was the first time I played in really big venues. I would say it’s the best tour I’ve been on. He has a fantastic audience. It didn’t blow my mind or anything. I just enjoyed it. It’s the best way to approach things.”

Bugg has come a long way in a short time. Six months ago, the 19-year-old singer was a cult figure in his native Nottingham. Since then, he has toured Europe with Gallagher, supported The Stone Roses at a secret show in London, and performed alongside The Killers on Later…With Jools Holland.
