⚡️FIRST GIG ANNOUNCEMENT⚡️

Janice Burns & Jon Doran – Live at Holy Cross Church

🗓️ Sat 5th September, 6-9:30pm (with support)

📍 Holy Cross, Haltwhistle

🎟 Completely FREE entry (tickets available via https://tinyurl.com/HMF2026)

We’re delighted to welcome Janice Burns & Jon Doran as our Saturday night headliners at Holy Cross Church.

Janice and Jon are an award-winning Anglo-Scottish duo who came together after discovering a shared love of traditional music. Their compelling storytelling comes alive through tight vocal harmonies and sensitive interplay between mandolin, bouzouki and guitar.

With their relaxed and personable approach to performance, Janice and 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 2 and BBC Radio Scotland.

**** “Clever and uncluttered musical storytelling” – SonglinesMagazine

***** “Five stars for this duo that have made an album destined for repeated listening.” – Irish Music Magazine

Spaces are limited in the church, so make sure you book early.

A big thank you also to The Vindolanda Trust for sponsoring this event!

⚡️O.P.L.C⚡️

When we were approached by the Haltwhistle Partnership to cater their monthly “Older People’s Lunch Club” - we immediately said yes! We are always up for more ways to help the wonderful people of this sweet lil’ town.

The opportunity to meet new faces, listen to stories, and share our love of food and hospitality means so much to us.

This is the reason why we open a bit later once a month, on a Tuesday. We’re just down the street at The Haltwhistle Methodist Hall, serving those good vibes to an extra special bunch.
