Janet Russell
Janet first made a name for herself on the folk circuit in the ‘80’s as a young singer songwriter writing with hard-edged humour about issues affecting women.  Her “Secretary’s Song” was the most requested song on “Folk on 2” in 1987/8, and “Breastfeeding Baby in the Park” has been taken up by the pro-breastfeeding lobby nationally and internationally.  Her work on Scottish traditional material with Scottish singer Christine Kydd has received huge critical acclaim, particularly in her native Scotland, and in the US. Janet has now worked on the folk scene professionally for more than 25 years, starting in Edinburgh pubs, in 1980/81, and has experience of folk clubs, arts centres, concert halls, church halls and village halls of all sorts and sizes in the UK, Europe, and the USA. Janet leads three community choirs, in Silsden, Burnley, and Settle, and does guest work with choirs all over the north of England.

Brian Peters
Brian Peters is one of the English folk scene’s great all-rounders: a compelling singer, a first-rate squeezebox player and a skilled guitarist. Brian is one of the country’s best anglo-concertina players and is just as good on melodeon, while he’s also internationally-known as a passionate singer of traditional ‘Child’ ballads. He delivers a repertoire of startling variety, so alongside those classic songs from the tradition and lively English dance tunes, you might expect to hear newer songs, Brian’s own instrumental compositions, and wild squeezebox excursions into ragtime or blues.  Add his energy and dry humour onstage, and you have a truly entertaining performer.
