Up until 2002, Jane was a very 'ordinary housewife and mother of three' who just happened to write great songs. She'd given up on any musical dreams for over a decade whilst she raised a family. But in 2002, Jane discovered she had a fan base on the internet - so she took out a bank loan to pay for some studio time, dusted down her guitar and recorded an album of songs she'd written over the last ten years. This album was CLOSE UP AND REAL which has now received staggeringly good reviews and sold over 2000 copies. This astonishing response to Jane's music is totally genuine and has been achieved WITHOUT any marketing campaign, advertising or PR hype and perhaps most surprisingly, without a record deal!
Jane records and performs with different musicians and producers so the line up is constantly evolving. People she's worked with frequently are Reg Webb (keyboards with lenny Kravitz), Dave Bronze (bass with Eric Clapton, Jeff beck), Pete Jacobsen, (piano with Level 42, Nik kershaw).
