Jackie Oates
(band)
Her decision to leave Rachel Unthank & The Winterset to pursue a solo
career 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 in 2008. 2009 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 Oates, solo artist, had arrived.
Her latest album ‘Hyperboreans’ was the coming-of-age album for Jackie.
Produced by brother Jim Moray, it was nominated in the fRoots Critics’
Poll Album of the Year and she went on to receive three nominations in the
BBC Folk Awards, for Folk Singer of The Year, Album of the Year and Best
Traditional Track for ‘Isle Of France’. The album firmly established Jackie
as one of the leading young artists in Britain today.
This short tour sees Jackie with her full 'Hyperboreans' band line-up.
