Prestigious Moments

Jane says: It was such a pleasure to sing for Dame Mary Berry when National Trust were holding a World Record attempt for knitted bunting, and a privilege to sing live on BBC Radio 5 Live for a special VE Day commemoration hosted by Adrian Chiles. And last but by no means least, it was, of course, a huge honour to sing for the late Squadron Leader George 'Johnny' Johnson at a Dambusters evening under the wings of Concorde.

Wythenshawe Hall 1940s Day

Date: Sunday 27th July 2025

Location: Wythenshawe

Address: Manchester

Postcode: M23 0AB

Step back to the 1940s at the historic Wythenshawe Hall in Manchester. Now open again after a blaze almost destroyed the building a few years ago, where in another age Cavaliers & Roundheads crossed swords - literally! - and Oliver Cromwell stayed over. Today we come relatively up to date with a day of 1940s music and dancing in the company of Jane, with lots of exhibits also to take in.
