Cancelled - Janice Burns & Jon Doran - St Wilfrid's Community Centre

On Boxing Day, there was a terrible fire which took the lives of three people. Very sadly, this was Jon's close family, and as you can imagine, it has been devastating for them all to cope with such a sudden and tragic loss. Their funeral arrangements clash with this date. We send our heartfelt condolences to Jon, Janice and their family.

Janice Burns & Jon Doran are an award-winning Anglo-Scottish duo who came together after discovering a shared love of traditional music. Their compelling storytelling comes alive through tight vocal harmonies and sensitive interplay between mandolin, bouzouki and guitar.

With their relaxed and personable approach to performance, Janice & Jon are renowned for the warmth of their connection with audiences. From opening Stage 2 at Cambridge Folk Festival, to playing at the likes of Celtic Connections, Edinburgh Tradfest and Cecil Sharp House, the duo are highly sought after across the UK and beyond.

Following the success of their self-titled EP in 2020, Janice & Jon released their debut album, No More the Green Hills, in Autumn 2022. The album had overwhelmingly positive feedback, finding its place in the Official UK Folk Albums Chart, as well as gaining airplay on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio Scotland.
