In Jan's songs and stories there is the strength and struggle of all humanity. She is a truth teller, a true troubador, heart breaker and heart mender Samantha Parton, Be Good Tanyas Maybe growing up in Nottinghamshire is what sets Jan Bell apart from the run of local lady folkies. Or maybe its the slide guitars, harmonicas, mandolins and banjos.
