The Violet Hour

Jackie’s second album (2008) features great performances by a host of wonderful friends and musicians from Devon and beyond, including the glamorous Jim Causley and Matt Norman, fellow Wistmans Woodfolk Steve Turner and Andy Clarke, Nick Wyke and Becky Driscoll, Sean O’Shea, Phil Beer, James Dumbelton, Gris Saunderson, Nick Cooke, Jim Moray, Tim Van Eyken and Belinda O’Hooley from the far north. Once more, the album has been produced by Phil Beer and is released on his label, Chudleigh Roots.

Press

‘This is an accomplished and beautiful album from a unique singer and musician, ‘The Violet Hour’ must surely be a contender for Folk Album of the Year.’ Channel 4 Music

‘Full of Shirley Collins intonations, her voice is persuasively rustic and style distinctly English – she takes the great leap forward with this second solo album and adds conviction, confidence and variety to natural charm.’ Colin Irwin, Daily Telegraph

‘The album is subdued, delicate, its guest musicians hovering discreetly in the background.’ Financial Times
