Kiwi country singer-songwriter Jackie Bristow is normally based in Nashville but she has been back in New Zealand since the first lockdown in 2020. 

With Covid putting a halt to her touring schedule, the Gore native was looking for things to do, so she started mentoring young musicians through her songwriting programme, SongCatcher. It was this initiative that led to the creation of Jackie B and The Mini Band, who have just released the first single from their debut EP, It's Christmas.    

Jackie is with us to talk about her innovative lockdown project and why those who warn about never working with children (or animals) have it all wrong.
