8th December – Janice Burns & Jon Doran in concert

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.
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

3LM Simon 89.jpg

Back by popular demand.

Kate, Daf and Jon take great delight in singing traditional songs – and some of their own – in Welsh and English. For some years now they have immersed themselves and their audiences in songs of love, loss, joy, desire, sadness, adventure, madness, salvation and everyday life. A journey through physical and metaphysical worlds, history set to music, a rabble-rousing session, an irreverent insight into past lives – Three Legg’d Mare is all of these and more, woven together by dexterous vocal harmonies and far too many quirky instruments to mention. 

Door open 7.30pm for 8.00pm start

Tickets £10  from the Town Hall or online at www.ticketsource.co.uk/BCTH

Door open 7.30pm for 8.00pm start

Tickets £12  from the Town Hall or online at www.ticketsource.co.uk/BCTH

“One of the most instantly recognisable voices in current music.” —Trust The Doc

Sarah McQuaid’s lush, chocolatey voice combines with her engaging personality, “subtle mastery onstage” (Huffington Post) and “brilliant musicianship” (fRoots) on acoustic and electric guitars, piano and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience.

Born in Spain, raised in Chicago, holding dual Irish and American citizenship and now settled in rural England, she brings the eclecticism of her background to her “captivating, unorthodox songwriting” (PopMatters) and choice of material, spanning genres and defying categorisation.
