Testimonials
"Jayne Darling very kindly agreed to perform her repertoire of 1940s music at our Christmas 1940s ball. She was extremely professional and added sparkle to our arrival foyer upon our guests arrivals. She set the theme beautifully and not only sounded but looked too the 1940s part. Very highly recommended and a pleasure to work with. Thank you."
- G Gwynn - producer.
Jayne Darling 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.

Following your marvellous debut singing performance at the hospice, I was wondering when you would come and do some more at some time.

"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 Darling was one of the highlights of the day". Harrogate Spring Vintage Fair

"Tavistock 1943 this year was a big success. Thanks to Jayne Darling for ensuring everyone was entertained, young and old alike. It was lovely too that you got everyone to join in singing too! Jayne Darling is certainly a good name for you! Jayne Darling tones and smooth and stylish too! We were happy to have you debut at our event. We hope that is won't be too long before 'we meet again'! Look forward to working with you once again
very soon and encourage other 1940's event organisers to book you in now!

Dear Scott Jordon Entertainment
I would like to pass on my praise to Jayne Darling who provided the evening entertainment for my 40th birthday party yesterday.
She provided a really professional performance with staging and lighting etc. She made it fit seamlessly with the surprise plans my husband had made.
Jayne used her experience to tailor her act to my event and most of all her voice was beautiful.
My family and friends were so impressed by her it really made the party a success.
Please feel free to use my comments in a review
Best wishes
Ruth Harding
