Crystal clear voices, great musicianship, and obviously a deep love of the tradition

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. They soon followed this up in 2024 with their second album, Great Joy to the New, which headed straight to number 17 on the Official Folk Albums Chart.

Really well crafted, intimate, beautifully understated
