Our Guest for Friday August 15th 2025 is

Jean Reid

Album Launch!

You may know Jean from her performances around the country as part of the duo, Celtic Ferret. However this August Rafters are privileged  to have Jean all on her own launching her solo album. 

Originally from Scotland, Jean has been plying her craft in the folk scene in Aotearoa for over 50 years.

A performer with a rich and haunting voice, she accompanies herself mainly on guitar.

Much of Jean's material is from the British Tradition, and she is also a fine songwriter.

Jean is excited to be introducing her new CD "And Aye She Sings" at this Rafters evening and will have copies for sale at $20
