Britain's What's On Event Guide
Grayshott Folk Club introduces: JANICE BURNS & JON DORAN
This year we thought we would have TWO seasonal shows and who better to help us mark the beginning of Advent than Janice Burns & Jon Doran? Janice and Jon 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.
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 effect and an understated energy that transports their songs from the pages of books and manuscripts into the imagination of
Janice and Jon's Winter gigs have become something of a tradition over the last few years, and now they’re heading out on their own UK tour, based upon their festive album, Great Joy to the New. People have always forged customs to survive the Winter, with rituals that bring people together and bring light to their dark nights. These rituals have often been born of necessity. Beautiful, colourful, musical traditions, linked by the common cause of sustaining people spiritually, mentally, or financially through a harsh Winter. Janice and Jon’s album and live show explores these themes through a collection of traditional Folk songs about Christmas, Winter, and optimism for the New Year.
