Lullabies and voices

 Listen here 

It was with great pleasure that I welcomed Jackie Oates to the Phonic FM

studio yesterday (Wednesday 24 April 2013). Jackie gave us the background to her Lullabies album and tour and talked about the various songs from the UK and beyond included in the project.

From the album we played four tracks:
Waiting For The Lark, 2 Dandling Songs, Bi Bi Og Blaka and Dream Angus.









Jackie spent much of the day at Exeter Phoenix. Earlier in the day, along with Belinda from her trio, Jackie presented a Lullabies workshop for mothers and babies and all, Jackie told me, went extremely well.

I thoroughly enjoyed the concert with Jackie and friends in the evening. The talented and inspired musicians were Jackie (voice, violin, Indian harmonium), Belinda O'Hooley (piano, accordian and voice) and Chris Sargeant (guitars, Indian harmonium, voice). An absolute delight. Read my full review of the concert here.

Phonic Voices 

is a community radio project directed by award winning filmmaker Peter Snelling from 
My Pockets with the support of the National Lottery. The project, based in Exeter, Devon, documented the moment that had changed people's lives forever. The radio sequences that have been created are funny, authentic and personal.

Participants of Phonic Voices joined me and Peter in the studio and entertained us, giving their comments including the background to the project and the parts they played in it.

We then played the first episode (1/3) of Phonic Voices.
