Jackie Oates with John Spiers on the Thames Path at Wallingford

The singer and fiddle player Jackie Oates is joined by the squeezebox maestro John Spiers for a walk along the mighty River Thames in Oxfordshire.

Between a song or two from the lace making industry, and a gorgeous “Lament To The Moon”, Jackie talks about her passion for folk song and her recent training as a music therapist, which took her into a hospice to help those nearing the end of their lives to capture memories in song. She also recalls her folk-style wedding while John muses on the best way to make dandelion wine. It’s a fascinating walk with two of England’s finest folk musicians.
