Unsurprisingly, Dana’s touring on both sides of the Atlantic has cemented his reputation as a fine and insightful songwriter for the ages. Emily Druce has been performing on the UK acoustic circuit since 1996, both solo and in a duo with Steve Jones. Multi-instrumentalist Emily started playing violin at an early age and took up guitar in her teens. Steve, himself a fine musician and Luthier, shares Emily’s passion for country blues. Both have had extensive national airplay and also appeared live on Radio 2 and 4. Since 1911 Macmillan has been at the forefront of supporting people with cancer, as well as their families.
