An evening with Janice Burns & Jon Doran at Cafe No9

Event information

Janice Burns & Jon Doran are an award-winning Anglo-Scottish duo who came together
after discovering a shared love of traditional music. Their songs tell vivid stories about the
nature of life and our place in the world.

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
songs from the pages of books and manuscripts into the imagination of the listener.
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.

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.

The duo's winter gigs have become something of a tradition over the last few years, and
this year they're heading out on their first festive tour. Expect seasonal favourites and little-
known gems to warm the soul through the colder months.
