Jackie Oates is a phenomenon in the exploding folk-pop scene in the UK today. Originally a member of the Mercury-nominated The Unthanks she has since carved out an astonishing solo career, in demand for work with other artists, cosmetics stores, collaborative projects, and even been the subject of Pop Art…

Her latest album Saturnine went on to be nominated as Album of the Year in the 2012 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, with Jackie also receiving a nomination for the Folk Singer of the Year Award. “Seductively delivering stalwarts like ‘Sweet Nightingale’ and ‘Brigg Fair’… it’s the rustic beauty of Oates’ voice that enthrals.” – Mojo
