Bancroft & Lyne

Performing together for the past 2 decades Bancroft & Lyne’s repertoire includes a mix of original contemporary jazz-based songs alongside reimagined jazz classics and covers of songs by songwriters such as Tom Waits and Joni Mitchell. Heralded as a ‘must see’ act at a recent Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival, New York they have performed at many venues and festivals around the UK, Europe and North America.As a couple living in the same house during lockdown they used the unexpected time to evolve the duo’s identity, finding different ways to orchestrate old and new songs. Alongside this they developed a weekly international livestream audience and produced a new CD Monday Nights which has received much critical acclaim, including being listed in JazzViews top jazz albums of 2020“an album of the highest class, superbly produced, and entertaining” – JAZZVIEWSSupported by Scotland on Tour.
