WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ON: 08 JULY 2025 Jackie Oates "There's a sweetness and melancholy to her voice that is like no other, and for which there is no known formula with which to replicate it.." Songlines Known for her exquisite vocals, emotive arrangements and expressive fiddle playing, Jackie is regarded as a 'contemporary folk treasure' and central figure in English traditional music. She loves to collaborate with a diverse array of artists and commissions; seeking out new and surprising artistic corners to illuminate with her understated brilliance. Her 8th solo studio album, Gracious Wings, took flight in September 2022, receiving acclaim from the music press both within and beyond the folk genre. In the 14 years since her iconic coming of age album Hyperboreans she has continued to build her large and varied following, write her own material, include surprising covers into her albums and breathe new life into traditional gems. A member of 'The Imagined Village' with Eliza & Martin Carthy and Billy Bragg among others, the band performed at festivals in 2022 and her version of The Cure's 'Untitled' was a 2022 commission for LUSH and featured on Iggy Pop's Confidential Show on BBC Radio 6. We hope you will join us in welcoming JACKIE OATES back to Dartford Folk Club! Please do come early (Doors open at 7.15pm) if you are planning to sit with a large group of friends.

PAM & ALAN COLLS
| Founders of the Dartford Folk Club, Pam and Alan Colls ran the Club together for over 40 years, booking an amazing variety of artists within the Folk genre. Sadly both Pam and Alan have passed away but, at our 50th Birthday celebrations in October 2023, the team, guests and audience raised a glass to remember their friendship, achievements and amazing contributions to the music world. The Dartford Folk Club is now managed by a small team of original members in memory of and as a legacy to Pam & Alan's love for music.
