We absolutely love this duo and have enjoyed working with them a couple of times over the last few years and we’re delighted to be bringing them back to Sheffield this Christmas for what will be the biggest headline show in the city at Highfield Trinity Church S2 4USJanice Burns & Jon Doran are an award-winning Anglo-Scottish duo who came together after discovering a shared love of traditional music and songs that tell vivid stories about the nature of life and our place in the world. In this show they sing songs of Christmas, winter, and optimism for the new year.
Janice & Jon’s ‘clever and uncluttered musical storytelling’ [Songlines] comes alive through tight vocal harmonies and sensitive interplay between mandolin, bouzouki, and guitar. Their arrangements have a spellbinding presence and an understated energy that transports their songs from the pages of books and manuscripts into the imagination of the listener.
Their debut album ‘No More the Green Hills’ has gained overwhelmingly positive feedback, finding its place in the Official UK Folk Chart whilst gaining airplay throughout the UK and internationally, on stations such as BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio Scotland. R&R describes it as ‘superb’, ‘Great singing, fantastic harmonies, and very sympathetic backing’.
They are building a reputation as one of the UK’s foremost touring acts, with their relaxed and personable approach to performance. They’ve played at notable venues and festivals such as Cambridge Folk Festival, Edinburgh Tradfest, Sidmouth Folk Festival, Cecil Sharp House, and Sage Gateshead
