After a beautiful session from Jackie on Woman’s Hour (Radio 4) yesterday – available on ‘listen again’ here - Radio 4 received a rush of emails and tweets in response.  One new fan wrote, ‘I have just heard Jackie Oates singing on the programme, whilst driving to work. Wow!!  What a beautiful voice.  I have never liked folk music before; always found it so sentimental, syrupy, uninspiring. Hearing Jackie Oates today was like a breath of fresh air.  It was truly invigorating.  Her voice was calming, rich and sensual. Looks like I will be purchasing my first folk album. Hope you can get this message to her.’ Since yesterday’s performance Jackie has gone back to number 1 on Amazon’s English folk chart and hit no. 9 on iTunes Songer-Songwriter chart.
