Thursday 19th July 2007 saw Jackie Oates take to the Ritz Stage ably accompanied by brother Doug (Jim Moray) on Guitar and Vocals.

Jackie produced an accomplished performance with an enchanting traditional vocal and polished viola and an interesting harmonium accompaniment, and we look forward to seeing her again at the Folkfest on Sunday 2nd September, when she will be appearing in Manor Gardens at about 1.15pm. Jim also delighted us with a couple of self-penned numbers, with strong vocal and excellent guitar playing.
It’s nice to see younger people playing traditional songs with feeling, and delivering them in a style that is appealing to all ages.
