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.

Jane is delighted to be part of Becconsall Living Museum's first-ever Wartime Nostalgia Day - as we step back to the 1940s for the day. Naturally, Jane will be performing at various times throughout the weekend, evoking memories for an older generation and introducing new and exciting sights and sounds to a much younger one. Step back in time to a time when, despite the hardships of war, glamour was very important, and music and dancing equally so.
