Very proud and excited to share that @janandjon.bsky.social will be performing orchestral arrangements of their songs with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra at Celtic Connections on 16th January. A real dream-come-true gig for us! ❤️ www.celticconnections.com/event/1/bbc-...

Photo of Janice Burns & Jon Doran stood outside on some rocks, with more rocky terrain in the background behind them. Janice is a young white woman with long brown curly hair, and she’s wearing a long orange dress. Jon is a young white man who’s wearing trousers and a light-coloured shirt. There is text over the top of the photo which says “Celtic Connections, 15 Jan - 1 Feb 2026”.
