Award-winning Anglo-Scottish duo Janice Burns & Jon Doran make their Kings Place debut as part of Future Folk, coming together to tell vivid festive stories about the nature of life and our place in the world. Janice Burns & Jon Doran‘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, Great Joy to the New. Beautiful, colourful, musical traditions, linked by the common cause of sustaining people spiritually, mentally, or financially through a harsh winter. Janice and Jon’s new album and live show explores these themes through a collection of traditional folk songs about 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 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. This event will last approximately 2 hours, including an interval. Presented by Kings Place. All ages
