After a short battle with COVID-19, Jake d’Alquen passed away on 17th December 2021 at the age of 34.

First and foremost, Jake was a dad to two girls. Unknown to Jake at the time of his passing, he was also father to a yet-to-be-born baby girl.

A much loved and well known selfless character from Pickering, North Yorkshire, Jake was an incredibly talented musician and performer who love spreading happiness through music - primarily through his band 'Chu Ma Shu' and his acoustic duo ‘Acoustic Brew’.

Through his musc, he brought happiness and (in many ways) escapism to thousands of people, touching the lives of everyone he came into contact with.

While we can't bring Jake back, we can do our best to set up his girls for the future - so all money donated will go into Junior ISAs for the girls, to give them opportunities which they otherwise wouldn't have.
