Jackie is performing for Folk at the John Peel and is joined by multi-instrumentalist MIKE COSGRAVE (Cosgrave & Banks, Sin É, Daily Planet, Jackie Leven, Jenny Crook).
‘There’s a sweetness and melancholy to her voice that is like no other, and for which there is no known formula with which to replicate it.’ Songlines
Known for her exquisite vocals, emotive arrangements and expressive fiddle playing, Jackie is regarded as a ‘contemporary folk treasure’ and central figure in English traditional music. Jackie loves to collaborate with a diverse array of artists and commissions; seeking out new and surprising artistic corners to illuminate with her understated brilliance.
Her 8th solo studio album, Gracious Wings, took flight in September 2022, receiving acclaim from both within and beyond the folk press. ‘Her cover of ‘On and On’ by indie band the Longpigs is a bit of genius.’ **** (Get Ready to Rock).
As well as recording and music therapy work, Jackie regularly performs with her duo and band line-ups including with John Spiers, Jon Wilks, Mike Cosgrave, John Parker, Megan Henwood and with The Imagined Village.
‘Whatever Jackie Oates turns her hand to the result is always enchanting, captivating and spiced with surprises.’ Folking.com
