The Travelling Janes: Burns Night Special

Join us for a vibrant Burns Night celebration as The Travelling Janes bring their internationally acclaimed blend of Scottish, Irish, and Welsh folk traditions together with the joyous spirit of New Orleans jazz. This special performance honours Robert Burns with a rich mix of soulful ballads, reimagined folk favourites, and iconic Scots-language songs, all delivered with the band’s signature exuberance and warmth.

The Travelling Janes are a dynamic international ensemble celebrated for their unique fusion of New Orleans/early jazz and blues with uplifting folk songs from Ireland and the British Isles, spanning the years 1850 to 1933. Since forming in 2023, they have made a remarkable impact on the global jazz scene, selling out Ronnie Scott’s and appearing at renowned festivals and venues including the Ascona Jazz Festival (twice), Celtic Connections, Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Hällevik, Slangerup, Caveau de la Huchette, Osaka Lindy Exchange, and the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival, among many others.

For this special night at Toulouse Lautrec, the lineup brings together an exceptional group of artists from around the world: Katie Cavera from California, Ali Affleck and Danielle Price from Scotland, and Amanda Lee from Singapore. Their combined artistry creates a sound that is earthy, joyous, steeped in history, and irresistibly full of life.

Audiences can expect an atmospheric evening filled with stirring Burns Night classics, heartfelt Scots-language songs, Celtic folk melodies reimagined through an early-jazz lens, and the vibrant New Orleans tunes that the Janes are beloved for. With exquisite musicianship, spirited storytelling, and infectious energy, The Travelling Janes promise a celebratory night that captures the soul of tradition while offering something entirely fresh and uplifting.
