Jennifer Reid is a folk musician dedicated to keeping alive the rich heritage of nineteenth-century music. She performs Lancashire dialect and Victorian broadside ballads, carrying on the tradition of using music as a social provocation.
As an actress, Jennifer has portrayed Barb in Shane Meadows’ critically acclaimed period drama “The Gallows Pole” and performed at Chanel’s Metiers d’Art show. She has supported Pulp, John Cooper Clark and latterly Eliza Carthy on an 18-date sold out UK tour, and is about to release a new collection of recordings, The Ballad of the Gatekeeper, produced by Pete Townshend.
With a background in local history, she educates students and communities through live performances, talks and workshops. Jennifer‘s research has taken her worldwide, exploring connections between past and present. She has performed the Venice Biennale, on the New York High Line, at Battersea Power Station and at the Liverpool Philharmonic. She will publish a book on her research into Bengali and Lancashire weaving songs in 2025. She collaborates with academic and cultural institutions, from the University of Cambridge to the Science Museum, contributing to stage and media productions. Her work has been cited academically and PhDs.
She sits on the executive committee of the Society for the Study of Labour History and as a member of Hard Art, a collective of activists, artists and leaders for social and political change.
