# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Belinda O'Hooley & Jackie Oates @ SHEFFIELD Upper Chapel
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 16 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Two of British folk’s most distinctive and highly-regarded artists join together in a brand-new, inspired collaboration.

Belinda O’Hooley, a renowned pianist, singer and composer, is best known as one half of O’Hooley & Tidow, who rose to
international prominence for writing and performing the theme to the hit TV series Gentleman Jack (which also led to an
acting role for Belinda on the iconic TV drama Happy Valley).

Drawing on her heritage in the west of Ireland, Belinda’s music showcases her unique, minimalist and deeply expressive
style. The first woman in her family to reclaim a previously all-male tradition, she has found the freedom to interpret the
music of her ancestors in her very own, singular way.

Belinda is also known for her inventive, minimalist, sometimes flamboyant accompanying of folk luminaries including
Rufus Wainwright and Nic Jones.

Jackie Oates is a respected and sought-after singer, fiddle player, song-writer and multi-instrumentalist, widely known
for her tender, arresting interpretations of traditional folk songs. A winner of two BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, Jackie has
released numerous acclaimed albums including eight solo records. Jackie works on a steady stream of commissions
which have recently ranged as widely as BBC Radio 3, The Orchestra of The Swan, LUSH Handmade Sound, and Yoto
Music player for children.

During 18 months as Artist In Residence at The Museum Of English Rural Life, Jackie spent countless hours in the
museum’s library researching the seldom explored area of English Lace Telling songs – a tradition of singing to
accompany women’s textile work – from which her album Needle Pin, Needle Pin with John Spiers and her Radio Ballad
The Lacemakers, were the results.

Jackie’s music for children and families is cherished by many. Her collection of traditional sleep songs in her 2013 album
Lullabies, continues to be the soundtrack to many a bedtime, and most recently Jackie has collaborated with Nick Hart on
his traditional Nursery Rhyme project. Those with pre-school children are familiar with Jackie’s vocal and instrumental
contributions to the CBeebies smash hit Nick Cope’s Popcast.

The intuitive and responsive interplay between Belinda and Jackie, two musicians at the height of their power, makes for
a compelling live experience.
