In 2011 she formed the eponymous Kate Jackson Group performing a small number of gigs including a homecoming of sorts to second home of Sheffield at the city's Plug venue. Jackson was a guest singer on the Scottish band 1990s' Kickstrasse, on their Kicks album of March 2009. In March 2010, she published the track "Homeward Bound" on her Myspace page. Songs included are "Velvet Sofa From No.26", "16 Years" and "Dancing In My Bedroom". Solo career Īfter The Long Blondes split in October 2008, Jackson began working a solo record with former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler. The towers were demolished in 2008.Īn archive photo from Jackson's time in The Long Blondes features on the front of Guy Mankowski's book, Albion's Secret History: Snapshots of England's Pop Rebels and Outsiders, published by Zer0 Books in 2021. Go Sheffo petitioned the city council with these suggested uses but met with mute response ". "One suggestion was that the towers would light up as cars passed on the M1, one a tower of red lights and one a tower of white. In an article in The Observer, she spoke about a project initiated by the magazine Go called Cooling the Towers which proposed lighting up the former cooling towers at Tinsley to symbolise what Sheffield stands for, rather than demolishing them. Jackson is a passionate spokeswoman for Sheffield. It was so overrun with boring boys, they needed someone to bring a touch of glamour." The NME described her as having the "arrogant strut of Chrissie Hynde and the acidic tongue of a Dickens heroine." ![]() Despite the number one spot being given to Beth Ditto, of The Gossip, and the 2006 list being equally divided between male and female performers, Jackson responded to this accolade with: "They probably thought they didn't have enough girls. In 2006, Jackson was ranked number seven in NME's Cool List. Jackson herself describes her style as " Bonnie Parker meets a Carry On girl". This interest in vintage clothing became a distinctive feature of the image of The Long Blondes. Whilst the band were unsigned, she studied fine art and also worked at Freshman's Boutique, a vintage clothing shop in Sheffield. Soon after graduating, Jackson began writing and performing with fellow graduates of the city's universities forming The Long Blondes. In the late 1990s, she moved to Sheffield to study English and History. Although Kate may have had some shyness about being so much taller than the rest of her co-stars(hence some of the photos of the others appearing to be as tall as Kate, perhaps she was wearing flats(no heel) and the other two added an inch or two by wearing shoes with an inch or two in the heel department to appear as tall if not taller than Kate in some pictures? Clearly there is no contest here, Kate was/is still, the tallest in height of all the angels.Jackson attended Culford School in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk and took leading parts in the school's performing arts shows. Kate clearly "towers" over the other two angels. Clearly all one needs to do is look at all the publicity photos of the three original angels standing side by side. You are absolutely right Tom B, Kate was the tallest angel so far(even taller than Tanya Roberts, who replaced Shelley Hack, who attempted to replace Kate jackson in the series)As I see it(and how it has been reported by reliable sources) Kate is 5' 9" tall, Farrah 5' 6" Jaclyn Smith 5' 7" Shelly Hack 5' 7", Tanya Roberts 5' 8" and last but not least Cherly Ladd 5'4" tall.
