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.
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 now they’re heading out on tour with their brand-new festive album. Expect seasonal favourites and little-known gems to warm the soul through the colder months.
Opening the evening will be Joe Dooley. While the family band "The Dooleys" were enjoying chart success Joe was completing his university studies and went of to tour internationally as a solo performer.
This gig will also be live streamed by LiveToYourLivingRoom and so be available to be enjoyed by anyone not able to get to ACE Space. Details available here https://livetoyourlivingroom.com/events/janice-burns-jon-doran-2024/
