"The velvet-voiced treasure of the British folk scene" – The Guardian
"The soaring purity of Oates's vocals washes through the songs leaving them like clean sheets after a bout of rain" – The Arts Desk
The JACKIE OATES TRIO, with Mike Cosgrave (piano, accordion, guitar) and John Parker (double bass), comes to SoundBox, Chester as part of their UK album launch tour to perform material from the new album, Gracious Wings, her eighth studio album launched on 2nd September.
Regarded as one of the country's best-loved folk performers, Jackie's current focus is on collaborating with a diverse array of artists and commissions, whilst also continuing to perform concerts and make the solo records that regularly rack up glowing broadsheet reviews.
Jackie has released classic covers with Scritti Politti's Rhodri Marsden, researched pagan Bath for the mavericks at Lush cosmetics, has been Artist In Residence at the Twitter-famous Museum of English Rural Life, lent her voice and musicianship to CBeebies' Nick Cope's Popcast, and begun an ongoing mixed media work about the history of lace telling.
