about

To celebrate the first private showing of a new video concert of songs and tunes about lace making, comes the digital release of 'The Lacemakers: The Lost Art Of Telling' exclusively to Bandcamp.

A Radio Ballad written by Jackie Oates and performed by Jackie Oates, John Spiers and Mike Cosgrave. Narrated by Jackie Oates, Molly Pipe, Nick Cope and Richard Evans


A radio ballad about the lace makers of Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire. The play explores the long lost tradition of lace telling - songs sung by the lace making girls to both learn the intricacies of the task and as an outlet for the tribulations of the time.

Please note: Songs and tunes from the radio ballad also appear as individual tracks on the album 'Needle Pin, Needle Pin'
