Jackie Oates and John Spiers

Folk duo Jackie Oates and John Spiers perform an evening of festive carols, wassails and traditional songs and tunes at Lowther Pavilion.

Two leading figures of the British folk scene combine fiddle, melodeon, percussion, recorders and stomp box for a warm festive concert of English carols, wassails, and seasonal songs and tunes from the British Isles and beyond. The programme mixes original material with selected covers, and the duo share insights into their own family traditions. The show runs for 1 hour 50 minutes and is suitable for all ages.
