The Magic Lantern is the moniker of singer-songwriter and composer Jamie Doe, an artist blurring the boundaries between folk, jazz and contemporary music. Born in Australia before moving to the UK at 12, The Magic Lantern has released five full length albums and toured the UK, Europe and Australia alongside This Is The Kit, Sam Lee and Alabaster Deplume among others.

His fifth album ’To Everything A Season’ was written and recorded in the months following his daughter's birth and his father's death six weeks later. In their brief meeting in a dementia nursing home, two ends of the circle of life touched. Of that cathartic moment, Jamie says 'I saw myself in my father, and my daughter in me and I felt joy and grief in overlapping waves, beautiful and complicated, which continue to ripple outward'. These songs are my attempt to make sense of this incredible time'

Collaborating with Syrinx choir alongisde an intimate solo set, The Magic Lantern's live show captures a rare emotional immediacy through Jamie’s arresting vocal lyricism and piercing lyrics, crafting songs that examine the limitless depth of the human experience with devastating, joyous results.

SYRINX is a contemporary choir of around 60 voices. We sing a wide-ranging mix of old and new songs with harmony and heart. The choir's name comes from the vocal organ of birds — an inspiration for our sound and repertoire. Recent projects include the debut performance of the Spell Songs Choral Songbook at Sinfonia Smith Square, performing with Stornoway at the Royal Albert Hall, and collaborating with Hayden Thorpe on his magical work Ness
