Jennifer ReidJennifer Reid (UK) performs 19th Century Lancashire dialect work songs and Manchester broadside ballads (popular songs sold on paper in the streets of England), reintroducing audiences to their industrial heritage. Think rousing songs and passionate oratory for the working class.
"Jennifer as a performer and writer breathes life back into these fascinating songs that vividly describe the tumultuous environment of the industrial north west. Taking their subject matter from the urban street and people the ballad effectively bridges the gap between folk and pop music as we know it today." – Jeremy Deller
Jennifer is also a researcher, educator and actor - playing the character of Barb in the BBC period drama, The Gallows Pole. She has recently supported Pulp and John Cooper Clarke, latterly for Chanel's prestigious Metiers d'Art show.

"I am interested in record-keeping and true seeing. I tell stories about things I see and hear, and things I think. By telling tales, I offer the medicine of my own practice as an antidote to the junk-thinking of the so-called real world. My aim is humble re-enchantment."
