Jackie Oates, Rosslyn Court, Margate

English folk musician, singer, fiddler, song-writer and winner of two BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, performing tonight at Rosslyn Court

Doors 7pm, starts at 7.30pm

A central figure in English traditional music, Jackie is regarded as one of the country’s best loved folk performers. Her 8th solo studio album, Gracious Wings, took flight in September 2022, receiving acclaim from the music press both within and beyond the folk genre.

In the 14 years since her iconic coming-of-age album Hyperboreans, Jackie has continued to build her large and varied following, write her own material, include surprising covers into her albums and breathe new life into the traditional gems she unearths.

In her diverse array of commissions, including The Orchestra of The Swan, LUSH and CBeebies, and collaborations with fellow musicians including John Spiers, Megan Henwood, Charlie Dore and Jon Wilks, Jackie seeks out new and surprising artistic corners to illuminate with her voice, research and musicianship.

A member of The Imagined Village with Eliza & Martin Carthy and the late Simon Emmerson, the band re-formed for festivals in 2022 including Beautiful Days. Jackie’s version of The Cure’s Untitled was a 2022 commission for LUSH and was featured on Iggy Pop’s Confidential Show on BBC Radio 6. In 2021, she wrote and produced ‘The Lace Makers: The Lost Art Of Telling’, a radio ballad featuring music from the Jackie Oates & John Spiers 2020 album, Needle Pin, Needle Pin.

Bar with local beer, hot and cold drinks and home-made cake.
