The
songs are of a wide variety and though there may be slayings
and sorcery,
there are also love and laughs.
All of life is there.
Jackie
moved to Devon in 2001 to study English at Exeter University,
she sought singarounds & music sessions and awakened a love
for traditional ballads and songs.
Naturally Through sheer frustration
at her inability to play the guitar, she began fiddle-singing.
Rising in stature, she became a finalist in
the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award 2003.
Jackie regularly appears
at folk clubs
in a
number of guises ( as a solo artist, with The Jackie Oates
Band, Rachel Unthank & The Winterset etc).
She can also be seen
at major festivals, both as a performer and workshop leader
with Shooting Roots and Spinningpath Music Workshops.
Together
these
two become an awesome duo ! |
