We are delighted to host award winning folk duo Janice Burns & Jon Doran for a festive concert on 29 November 2026 as part of their winter tour.
People have always forged customs to survive the winter, with rituals that bring people together and bring light to the 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 explores these themes through a collection of traditional folk songs about Christmas, winter, and optimism for the new year.
