Jana Varga and Izzie Derry join forces for a UK co-headline tour, bringing together two distinctive voices in an intimate and powerful celebration of storytelling through song. Exploring themes of love, heartbreak, freedom and belonging, this is more than just a show—it’s a meeting of musical minds and a shared journey of collaboration, connection and sisterhood. Together, Izzie and Jana craft a live show that is both intimate and uplifting. Witness the powerful and lush sound, as they harmonise and reimagine each other’s songs in arrangements created especially for this tour. Their individual stories unite in a shared narrative transporting you into their world right from the first note. Slovakian-born Jana Varga is a former classical flautist who left the orchestra path for songwriting. Her sound, shaped by European folk, jazz, and gospel, brings a captivating warmth to the stage. After living across Europe, Jana settled in the UK, where she has released two critically acclaimed albums and built a loyal international following. Her expressive performances have graced prestigious venues like the Royal Albert Hall, where she performed alongside the legendary Dionne Warwick. A highly sought-after collaborator, Jana records with platinum-selling artist Rumer and fronts the acclaimed Hejira: Celebrating Joni Mitchell.

Haunting Nights

Join Haunting Nights on The Witch Finder General Ghost Hunt here in Manningtree! Haunting Nights Bring you closer to the story than ever before of the Essex Witch Trials It has been reported many times that the ghost of Matthew Hopkins, the self-proclaimed Witchfinder General, can been seen, especially on nights of a full moon. The ghostly apparition is seen dressed in 17th century clothing close to Mistley ‘ducking’ Pond and the nearby ‘hopping’ bridge not far from St. Marys Church, Mistley. Other reports claim that the ghost of his first victim, the elderly and crippled Elizabeth Clarke appears on the shores of Seafield Bay. Elizabeth was dragged out of The Red Lion public house by Matthew Hopkins as he loudly accused her of being a witch, following a previous accusation by the local tailor John Rivet. Elizabeth was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. This conviction convinced Hopkins that he was right to accuse her so he proclaimed himself “The Witchfinder General” Join the team as they investigate the hauntings of Matthew Hopkins Witch Finder General. During the night you will have the opportunity to use various methods of ghost hunting to include Victorian seances, Ouija boards, table tipping and glass moving as well as the more up to date methods, Working alongside the Haunting Nights Team we will have you covered for your paranormal experience.
