Following a “baby-break” to care for Nathanial, Jackie has returned to the musical fold this year by joining the High Jingo band.

Musical successes in recent years have included setting up & running her first band (machuki); playing & singing at jam sessions; setting up new sessions and putting together her first gigging jazz line-ups under the name ‘Guapos’ as well as teaching with Bath’s Blowout Sax School.
