Christmas Party #2 with Jackie Oates & John Spiers

Ho, Ho, Ho! Jackie and John tour their Christmas Show, an idea which was born in the dismal and uncertain 2020 lockdown and has developed into a strong tradition. They have brought out their wonderful album, A Midwinter’s Night; FolkWales Online Magazine awarded it five stars and called it “an utterly heartwarming and entrancing album; it’s a joyous celebration of the festive season and the New Year, a festival of light to cheer us and help us through the colder dark days.” John and Jackie devised a Christmas show during the 2020 lockdown when everyone stayed firmly housebound, and realised that it would be the perfect opportunity to raise a little warmth by making a homemade TV programme-style concert, filmed in Jackie’s living room and in rural locations around Wallingford, Wootton and Headington Quarry. The first Christmas at Home online concert was born, and was such a success that a second concert, featuring new material, was produced in the following year. Once the covid restrictions were lifted, the duo took their Christmas Show the arts centres and folk clubs across the country – and the show has become an annual well-loved event.
