Jackie Oates & Megan Henwood On Line Show - Saturday 14 November 2020
Multi award winning contemporary folk duo Jackie Oates and Megan Henwood meld together their love of storytelling, songwriting and melody with their voices and acoustic instruments, resulting in a fresh sound that combines both reworked traditional folk song with original and contemporary material. Their individual musical backgrounds are quite different yet their voices blend effortlessly, sensitively backed by viola, guitar, and sometimes piano.
The pair met at Nettlebed Folk Club in Oxfordshire, already admiring one another’s work – they began playing music together shortly after and Jackie contributed heavily on Megan’s last album ‘Head Heart Hand’. Since then they have been working together on new material and experimenting with arranging traditional and contemporary songs to fit their musical vision. Working with producers Pete Brown and Tom Excell they have recorded a 5 track EP entitled ‘Wings’ which features their haunting adaption of Brain Bedford’s poignant song ‘What’s The Use Of Wings?’.
After their duo performance at Folk Weekend: Oxford was scuppered by Covid (although we had a lovely shared set of solo songs instead!) we are delighted that Jackie and Megan will be back performing together for us, live to your living rooms.
