Jon Doran & The Northern Assembly is a ground-breaking new collaboration seeking to capture the excitement that lies within traditional song and breathe new life into old stories from the British Isles by injecting the energy they feel these narratives deserve.Consciously moving away from the conventional folk song performance style, the trio rely upon their vastly dissimilar musical upbringings and experiences to conjure emotions and communicate a story far deeper than the words of the song. With virtuosic instrumentalists, Heather Ferrier (accordion) and Jordan Aikin (whistles and pipes), the trio create dynamic songs that combine exhilarating contemporary arrangements with the much loved traditional performance style and striking vocals of Jon Doran (BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award Finalist 2019). Don’t miss this exceptional trio as they tour Dorset with Artsreach, the county’s rural arts charity.
