Tanya Jackson first realised how important music was at the age of 9, after seeing
that bit in The Goonies when they had to play the skeleton keyboard to pass through
the tunnel safely. She begged her parents for piano lessons and taught herself guitar.
Ten years later, having busked around Australia, she returned to London, where she
cut her teeth on the jazz improvisation circuit, sung live in clubs over DJ sets
and played solo acoustic sets of her own material. She has since run vintage and
folk open-
As a child, Tanya always longed to be from another age: growing lavender and chamomile in the garden and practicing herbal medicine on the cats. As an adult this manifested itself as a job at Neal’s Yard Remedies, a wardrobe full of long skirts and a large collection of crystals. She is delighted to find kindred spirits in the Mediaeval Baebes.
