Multi award-winning contemporary folk artists Jackie Oates and John Spiers meld together their shared love of English traditional folk tunes and songs with their fine voices and expertly played acoustic instruments.

Although followers of British folk music will be familiar with Jackie and John from their other high-calibre bands, this collaboration began quite innocently and spontaneously when the pair first started playing together for fun during guest spots at Nettlebed Folk Club in Henley-on-Thames. Recognising the potential, they began working together on material from their native county of Oxfordshire. Since their first performances in 2016, they have gone on to tour the UK extensively, releasing their first full length studio album, ‘Needle Pin, Needle Pin’ in 2020.

Their second album, a festive release entitled, ‘A Midwinter’s Night’ is a beautiful and heart-warming antidote to the materiality that can be a feature of the Christmas season. A joyous celebration of midwinter and all its shades.
