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.

After a highly successful first-ever 1940s event at Damhouse last year, Jane is back again across the whole of the weekend, performing four sets on each day, three on the lawn and one in the courtyard. The event earned high praise from all who attended in 2025, and is set to be even better this time around, against the backdrop of the historic Astley Hall.​
