Events Calendar

It's four years since folksinger Jackie Bristow released a new album. But she has a really good excuse - she's been touring non-stop and playing some impressive openings.

Her new album 'Shot of Gold' contains a deviation from her norm but one that is appropriate on the eve of the centennial of Gallipoli -   'Fallen Youth’.  The genesis for this song is a poem written by an unnamed ANZAC WW1 soldier found in the public library of Jackie's hometown of Gore.
 
Jackie Bristow's childhood friend and Kiwi soldier Aaron Horrell found the poem and carried it with him for 20 years.  Recently Aaron asked Jackie to turn the poem into a song. Jackie wrote the song at the top of the Hokonui Hills and now performs it as part of her live set.  
 
Jackie says, "The poem speaks from the heart of a soldier and it feels good to sing my song 'Fallen Youth' and to tell a story for all the soldier's in the world".

Jackie sings 'Fallen Youth' and other tracks from her 'Shot of Gold' album.
