Jennifer Reid returns to the Portico Library fresh from her New Zealand tour to perform songs from the Portico collection and perhaps share some of her new album before the official launch on 21 May.

Jennifer Reid performs 19thC Lancashire dialect and Victorian street song. Her work has taken her to Venice, Croatia, New York and Bangladesh, where she tested the idea that the Industrial Revolution never stopped, it just moved to Dhaka.

Lately she has been collaborating with musicians, sound artists, historians and heritage professionals to devise and lead projects for the good of the community. She has been a creative partner on projects with the Universities of Leeds, Manchester and Stirling and a cultural consultant to the Science Museum Group. She has also researched and provided music for period-specific stage TV and radio productions.
