Following on from the success of their debut album, Anglo-Scottish duo Janice Burns & Jon Doran are back with their first Christmas Album, Great Joy to the New. An album that is rooted in tradition, in all senses of the word. It draws strongly on traditional material, as well as the customs and rituals that draw people together through the winter to bring light to dark nights. These beautiful, colourful, musical traditions – born of necessity, and linked by the need to sustain us through harsh winters. It’s a collection of traditional folk songs, not just about Christmas, but about looking ahead with optimism for the new year ahead.
