Jackie Oates
Winner of the BBC Folk Awards for best newcomer and best traditional track.
Jackie Oates is a name synonymous with the reinvigoration of English folk music, beguiling audiences with a delicate balance of tradition and reinvention. Her mellifluous voice and imaginatively plaintive fiddle style have won her several BBC Folk Awards during her 10 year recording career.
She will be joined tonight by guitarist Tristan Seume.
