Jackie McAuley (born 14 December 1946) is a Northern Irish guitarist and keyboard player, known particularly for his work with the bands Them and Trader Horne.
Career
As a member of
McAuleys psych-folk duo
In 1982, his songwriting came to fruition when he and John Gustafson of Roxy Music penned the hit song, "Dear John", for Status Quo. Meanwhile they formed Rowdy with Billy Bremner (The Pretenders) and Les Binks (Judas Priest).
In the late 1980s, McAuley led for several years the Celtic rock outfit Poor Mouth (band), recording the album Gael Force (album).[6] McAuley later began to write more solo driven material and since breaking up the band in the 1990s, he has released several albums under his own name.
Recently McAuley and Dyble reformed Trader Horne for a one-off London gig, which was awarded four stars in a review in The Times[7] and his songwriting was recognised once again in the Hollywood movies Humble Pie, American Fork (William Baldwin) and Stranger Things (Winona Ryder).
In 2017, McAuley played at the "A New Day Festival"[8] in Kent, England and finished writing his memoirs titled I, Sideman.[9] Up until 2020 he was working as the Jackie McAuley Band[10] with PierLuigi Cioci and Joe Toal but since then Jackie is working solo.
