Jackie Oates "Lullabies" Fundraiser for Save the Children

Jackie Oates is a phenomenon in the exploding folk scene in the UK today.

Jackie has won two BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and been nominated for several more. She has been the inspiration behind a ‘Jackie Oates’ titled tinted moisturiser on sale in Lush, the worldwide chain of seven hundred fresh handmade cosmetics stores. She has toured as support to Mercury nominated folk-pop star Seth Lakeman. She has been immortalized as a Jackie Onassis for the 21st century by pop-artist David Owen. She is a member of the all-star multi-cultural folk band Imagined Village alongside Eliza Carthy, Chris Wood, Martin Carthy and more. She took part in the songwriting house of the Cecil Sharp Project which garnered major features on Radio 3’s World on 3, Radio 4’s Today programme and The Guardian. And more…

After four studio albums, Jackie now takes time out to work on recording and touring a very special project focused around lullabies. In her own words:

‘For a long time I've been fascinated with lullabies, often being struck by the way that, for adults, hearing them can bring back strong memories and feelings of being a child again.
