We are delighted to announce a last minute booking of Janice Burns & Jon Doran who will play on Sunday afternoon. They will replace Good Habits who have had to withdraw from playing through illness.

Janice Burns & Jon Doran are an Anglo-Scottish duo who formed in 2017, after discovering a shared love of traditional music. Their compelling storytelling comes alive through tight vocal harmonies and sensitive interplay between mandolin and bouzouki, with arrangements that balance intricacy with energy.
