Gentleman Jack song

Description

The ending song of Gentleman Jack TV show.

The ending song of the TV series Gentleman Jack is aptly titled "Gentleman Jack", performed by the Yorkshire folk duo O'Hooley & Tidow.

This song serves as the closing theme for each episode of the BBC/HBO historical drama, which chronicles the life of Anne Lister, a 19th-century landowner and diarist from Halifax, West Yorkshire.

The song was inspired by Anne Lister's diaries, which detail her unconventional lifestyle and relationships. The lyrics reflect Lister's defiance of societal norms and her nickname "Gentleman Jack," a moniker given to her by locals due to her masculine appearance and behavior.

O'Hooley & Tidow's composition captures the essence of Lister's character and has become synonymous with the series.

The show's creator, Sally Wainwright, discovered the song and was so taken by it that she decided to use it as the series' theme.
