Hi Jayne, Thank ever so much for last night, you were amazing beautiful vocalist. The whole set up very professional too. Hope to catch one of your shows again.
A RichardsonThank you for your wonderful performance at my birthday it meant such a lot. We’ve been in Brighton so that’s why I’m sending this late. We had so many comments from family, friends, and venue saying how wonderful it was. Hope to see you at a wartime event soon, best, Debs.

We found Jayne on lineand we were delighted. Jayne sang at a Sunday lunch to celebrate a 90th birthday. There were nearly 60 of us and many hadn’t seen each other for a while so there was a mixture of chatting and listening. Jayne was brilliant, not too loud-not too quiet. She was a very special addition to a lovely day. Thank you Jayne and Darren!

We were delighted to have the lovely Jayne as our entertainer for our very special 45th (Sapphire) Wedding Anniversary party. Her great voice and wonderful repertoire really helped to make the evening very special – right down to her gorgeous blue gowns to match our blue-themed evening! Jayne is a super person and worked hard to enhance the atmosphere, with a wonderful song list. She was the icing on our cake! Thank you so much xx.

I know several people thanked you on the night but many more have stopped me over the last couple of days to say how much they enjoyed it, so THANK YOU again.Hopefully we will be able to book you again soon.
StephanieYou have such an amazing voice. When I watched your video on Facebook singing ‘Requiem for a Soldier’ I wept. You really touched my heart with it.
MarcThank you so much for the show you did for our dad’s 90th birthday. He and the other residents thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment. We’re grateful that you did your best to accommodate Mike’s song requests at such short notice.

We were privileged to see you perform at Wimpole Hall’s 1940 weekend and would like to thank you for inviting our daughter, Maisie, onto the stage to sing “Let it go” with you. She absolutely loved it and I’m so glad I recorded it on my phone for her to watch back. Thank you again for making a little girl very happy and her parents very proud.
S.PriggThank you so much for attending the Saturday Night Dance as part of the Leyburn 1940s weekend – I thought you were great and certainly went down very well with the people attending the dance.
Leyburn 940s WeekendI just wanted to thank you for Friday. I can’t find the words to express just how wonderful I thought you were. You treated everybody with such respect and dignity and you can guess that most of those guys have suffered such discrimination in their lives. I thought the atmosphere you created was absolutely wonderful and folk just couldn’t get over how wonderful the evening was.

Jayne Darling recently sang at a vintage fair which was organised by a local charity. Her voice was beautiful, her style was perfect for the occasion and her smile was infectious. She entertained the crowds for the majority of the day with a wide range of material. Versatile and vivacious, Jayne was one of the highlights of the day.
Harrogate Vintage FayreJayne sang at a vintage burlesque event that I organised. She was a fantastic success. All the guests I spoke to raved about her beautiful voice. She was a pleasure to work with. Professional, enthusiastic and excellent value for money she added some extra class and sparkle to the event.
