Jackie Oates originates from a musical family and was born in Cheshire, spending most of her school life in Staffordshire. She moved to Devon in 2001, where she still lives. Deriving her inspiration from early exposure to Bromyard and Sidmouth folk festivals, she fiddle sings mainly traditional English folk song, in both a solo capacity, as a member of Rachel Unthank and the Winterset, and with brand new trio 'Wistman's Wood. She also occasionally plays as part of a string trio with Devon band 'Show of Hands' She works for folk organisations such as Wren music, Folk South West and T.A.P.S, and Shooting Roots, where she tutors young people in the art of folk singing and playing.
Jackie was a finalist in the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award 2003, and has since gone on to represent England at the European Network of Folk Arts festival in 2003, and has appeared on severed acclaimed folk albums; Sweet England (Jim Moray), Jim Moray (Jim Moray), Beam (Laurel Swift and Friends), Cruel Sister (Rachel Unthank and the Winterset), Witness (Show of Hands), Ghosts and Greasepaint (Barry Lister) and Twilight of the Dogs (Les Barker).
Jackie's own self titled debut album is finally available at gigs and on her website. Whilst its not due for release just yet, it is already attracting a lot of attention.

Described as: 'like Soulfly if Trent Reznor were part of the band,' their debut album "There's No Profit in Truth", mixes the pent up frustration of acts such as Rage Against The Machine with the raging, highly charged riffs of classic Machine Head. Good, honest, politically aware and highly charged Metal at its best...
If you would like to read a sample of one of the stories from ISLINGTON CROCODILES’ you can do that now as one of the stories is posted on the Islington Crocodiles blog page. RAIDERS is the disturbing story of Barwise and Micky.
As Graham Joyce says in his foreword to ISLINGTON CROCODILES, ‘This is the edge.’

John Varvatos is doing a competetion for a band to get signed and perform NYC Fashion Week. We thought , ok, there is no way we're going to get chosen considering all the bands sound like "bubble gum let's have thanksgiving dinner."
But being the artist I am and having the band I do, we we're like FUCK it. We'll submit.
Awesome news is, they Accepted us!
So now we have our foot in the race, but that is just the beginning.
If you are an advocate for CHANGE and are tired of the same BULLSHIT! Let's do this together!
Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...
When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...
cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...
Cuando lo compartimos con amigos... algo se sana en todas partes...
El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...
