Jayne is a brilliant person. Came to my dads 100th Birthday party on the 12th October. She made it very special for him and Jayne sang dads favourite song. We’ll meet again don’t where don’t when but we’ll meet again some day. Dad was in tears. This was song on the quayside when dad was leaving to go to battle in North Africa. More...

Since she started has become more powerful in her renditions in the upper register. The way she engages with her audience makes her a frontrunner in her chosen genre.

Jayne Darling came and performed at Derbyshire House Care home. The residents all mentioned how much they liked her. One thing the residents particularly liked was how beautiful and bright her dress was, really eye catching especially for residents with dementia. Jayne was very polite and her choice of songs were lovely - residents could sing along to them. We definitely would love to have Jayne again! More...

After seeing Jayne perform a couple of years ago l knew she would be perfect for our town’s commemoration for the ending of World War One. On 11/11/18 we took part in A Nations Tribute. Jayne performed a section of first and second war time songs. Her vocals are amazing. She has so much grace and her stage costumes are fabulous. Her vintage stage props are well in keeping of that period time. An overall fantastically enjoyable performance and very professional. Look forward to catching one of her shows again. Xx More...

Jayne sang at a Remembrance Service this morning to commemorate the lives of a Lancaster Bomber crew who died 75 years ago. She sang the Requiem for a Soldier from the Band of Brothers. I have heard Jayne many times before at 1940s events, but this was a first at a church service. She was brilliant - clear as a bell, sung with feeling and emotion and very moving. A true professional I am lucky to count as a friend. More...

Jayne was just incredible... from the moment we booked with Jayne we knew we were going to have an amazing addition to our wedding. Not only does she have a beautiful voice, her appearance was perfect and she just had a beautiful soul. She learnt and performed songs from outside her normal repotoire that were sentimental to us and did them more than justice. Thank you so much Jayne you made our day practically perfect xx More...

Jayne Darling lived up to her name when she entertained us at our 40th wedding anniversary. So professional with a musical voice that moved many to tears on more than one occasion during the night. She sounded good and by golly she looks good too. As it was a 1940 themed party, the lighting provided by her made it feel as if we were back in the 40s. I have been asked by many how I know her and where she is based, she proved so popular. Thank you Jayne for making our party so special, none else could of done that..hope to book you for our Golden.xxxx More...

We found Jayne by Googling and 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! dx More...

Our club is for people aged 50 to 100 and it was amazing to look around the room and witness the joy on each and everyones face as she sang.
I have received so much positive feedback from our members and we are certainly looking forward to booking Jayne again. Her performance is professional and her voice is beautiful.
