Jackie Barnett's love of music began in the living room of her parent's terraced house in a small village in Cambridgeshire, England, where she would sing into an old reel-to-reel tape recorder. By the age of 13 she was singing in a choir at Kings College in Cambridge. From those early days of structured live performance, her enthusiasm to entertain grew and her strong desire to perform live led her to front many bands of all styles. With her charismatic performances, she has played at both intimate and large venues including various music festivals. Jackie's collaboration with Tony Ginger meant their shared wealth of experience motivated them to write songs that reflect a kaleidoscope of emotion. Inspired to write with the passion and honesty of Springsteen combined with feminine warmth, they weave a myriad of sentiment that echo's reality. “Natural” was Jackie's debut EP the origins of which come straight out of the acoustic/country/rock tradition, which lends itself to the storyteller Jackie fosters in her coruscating performances. Making “Natural” was creatively liberating, using musicians she had previously not worked with has brought a refreshing feel to her music. The release of the much-awaited new Wheatfield's album in January 2007 saw the reunion of the Ginger/Barnett song writing partnership. With the original musicians from the hugely successful Natural EP, with additional new members to the band has ensured this album has a truly traditional country theme to it. Hitting over five number one slots in various European country music charts and elevating Jackie on to the European music circuit. 2007 through to 2010 has seen Jackie touring both Europe and extensively in the UK also during this period Jackie has recorded a 6 track EP “Growin up” dedicated to her biggest inspiration “Bruce Springsteen”.
