URGENT - Apologies if you have emailed me over the past 10 days - my server was not sending or receiving - ALL SEEMS OK NOW, I wasn't ignoring your emails, just not getting them - if you can stand it, please email again....
Very excited at the moment - please listen in, if you are in the East of England late on Saturday nights to Radio three counties, as Richard Spendlove is featuring some of the songs from the People and Places CD. He has written some superb poems, as you probably know, and I was delighted to have been asked if I would care to set some of them to music. So............... listen out for The Railway, Tom Hogan, and my particular favourite....... 134 Hills Road. Thanks Richard, and by the way, Richard, I still have some lovely recordings of some of the other musical poems.
Several afternoon concerts booked for Hilton Park Care Centre - these are held in the Atrium - which is a lovely setting - dates are 10th June; 23rd September and 23rd December. The public are invited to attend - please email me for more details.
KINGS THEATRE NEWMARKET - We had some great concerts last year - and hoping that we may have some more this year - they were great fun - very informal and good to have so many friends on stage - in the mean time here are a few moments from the last one -

I was also delighted to read the following comments from a journalist in the States - his name is Ken Scott:
"Sometimes likened to
Fairport Conventions Sandy Denny, this exceptional
female folk singer has an accomplished style that's immediately
accessible,
not to mention miles above most Christian offerings.
It seems only natural that a talent like that of Jancis Harvey
should not be
confirmed soley to the Christian market.From simple relaxed folk
to soft
hypnotic gems with ethereal guitar work and vocals...."
These are my re-released vinyls on CD - for further details click on them below:
Please check the concert page for any new additions and don't forget, even if these are private functions, I am usually permitted to have friends in the audience, so let me know if you are interested in any of them. Sorry for the delay in updating.......Jancis

Thanks for the people who book me for concerts and re-book me, and for those who have bought my CDs and written to the radio/tv stations. Most of all thanks, to Christian Copyright Licensing for all they do for me and my work.
The songs of Jancis Harvey can be heard these days in schools, churches, concert halls, village halls, masonic halls and just about everywhere there is an audience who appreciates the gentle style of folk-music of this very popular singer/songwriter.
Jancis Harvey is a folk-singer and she has been writing and singing her songs since the very early days of BBC Radio 2 and has made many appearances on the old BBC Light Programme’s FIVE TO TEN slot. Jancis is a regular member of the BBC Schools’ Broadcasting team and her songs, FROM THE DARKNESS CAME LIGHT and LORD OF THE HARVEST have become part of the establishment and appear in several publications, including COME AND PRAISE I and II the BBC Schools’ hymnbooks and BBC BEGINNINGS. She has presented two of her own series of FIVE TO ELEVEN for BBC 1 TV with producer Ralph Rolls and over the years she had her own late night programmes on Anglia TV with Ivan Bailey, YTV with Mary Watts and Tyne Tees Television with Max Deas. see tv page
Over the years she has been commissioned to write songs for various ventures and these include, ROAD TO EMMAUS, which was written for the opening of the first EMMAUS Community in the UK in 1992. Also, THE OPEN DOOR, composed for the Newmarket Open Door project and used extensively at the various concert where Jancis sings in aid of this charity. A SHOEBOX FULL OF WISHES, was composed for the women of Croatia in 1997 as the result of a shoebox appeal in Cambridgeshire and in fact many of her songs reflect her life and the countryside around her, in her native East Anglia. Also, see career page.
As a Christian songwriter, she has given concerts in some of the largest cathedrals in the country and some of the smallest village churches - from Winchester to Whittlesford, and from Ripon to Risby - sometimes working with the local schoolchildren as a special project, and also on her own.
Her style is simple, accompanying herself on guitar and she can supply a p.a. system should this be required. Visit the concert page for details of forthcoming public events.
