TONIGHT!!
Jackie Oates - Octagonal Hall, Welland Park College, Market Harborough - Thursday 10 March
‘The girl is a genius’
Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2
Originally with the Mercury-nominated Rachel Unthank & The Winterset Jackie left in 2008 to pursue a solo career which looked like a brave decision at the time but has proved to be inspired. Jackie was soon after nominated for as best newcomer in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. A swathe of glowing national reviews came with the release of ‘The Violet Hour’ soon after with the album going on to be one of Mojo’s top ten folk albums of the year. The new year saw Jackie walking away with a remarkable two BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards including the Horizon Award for best newcomer, the award which had alluded her the year before.
Jackie released ‘Hyperboreans’ the highly anticipated follow-up to ‘The Violet Hour’ in 2009. Produced by her brother Jim Moray and featuring a title track written for her by Alasdair Roberts it es tablished herself as one of the leading young artists in Britain today.
Jackie received three nominations for Folk Singer of The Year, Album of the Year and Best Traditional Track for ‘Isle Of France’ in the 2010 BBC Folk Awards.
Jackie performed at all of the big festivals last year including Cambridge Folk Festival, Sidmouth FolkWeek, The Big Session, Towersey Festival, Shrewsbury Folk Festival and toured with Show Of Hands.
In 2011 she will tour as part of The Imagined Village line up as well as in her own right. We are very excited to be able to bring Jackie and her full band to Market Harborough
