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.
really enjoyed sitting behind the mixing desk watching your 2 sets at the goose is out, london. good luck you guys, its sounds so fresh and hi quality.
hello Jackie, I was a wondeful performance last night in Leigh, thanks for signing my albums. I live 7 miles from the venue and I drove home along the coast with 'Wishfulness Waltz' echoing around my head.......scrummy
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
