Multi award-winning and hugely influential contemporary folk musicians Jackie Oates and John Spiers bring their breadth of experience and shared love of English traditional folk tunes and songs to this finely matched duo.
Their annual tour at Christmas provides a beautiful and heart-warming antidote to the materiality that can be a feature of the festive season, as they perform captivating and unusual traditional Christmas carols and tunes from the UK and far beyond.
‘If you’re seeking music that beautifully honours the traditions of this season, look no further … they carry these cherished traditions with inspiring grace.’ Klofmag
Their latest album, a festive release entitled ‘A Midwinter’s Night’, is a joyous celebration of midwinter and all its shades. Featuring multi-instrumental arrangements, the duo aims to inspire audiences through their shared love of Christmas time, including the traditions and rituals that, for many years, have been an important feature of their own respective family traditions.
Prepare for a magical show!
