The release of the album The Violet Hour in early 2008 marked the start of what has been a remarkable two years for Jackie Oates. Her decision to leave the Mercury Prize-nominated Rachel Unthank & The Winter set to pursue a solo career looked like a brave decision at the time but has proved to be inspired. Jackie was soon after nominated for as best newcomer in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. A swathe of glowing national reviews came with the release of The Violet Hour soon after with the album going on to be one of Mojos top ten folk albums of the year in 2008. The new year saw Jackie walking away with a remarkable two BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards including the Horizon Award for best newcomer, the award which had alluded her the year before. Jackie Oates, solo artist, had arrived.

@RUPERTBARE1 Real music, real emotions and real life. For a synthetic version of the above, go elsewhere.

What a remarkable performance. I love how you have rendered it with the feelings of despair in the poem. Well done. Your arrangement is stirring.
