Jennifer Reid performs Victorian and Georgian Lancashire dialect work songs and broadside ballads sung on the streets of Manchester. This year at Supersonic, Jennifer will serenade you with Lancashire dialect from atop some kind of beer barrel, before transforming into DJ Yung Grim Reaper to play scammer rap, egg punk, Northern soul, and everywhere in between.
After collaborating with Jeremy Deller at the Venice Biennale in 2015, she has performed internationally and locally to support communities to express their identity and heritage by understanding global capitalism through song. She performs, researches, collects, teaches, writes, sings and talks to make sure the tradition is preserved in a way that everyone can access.
