Jenny is an incredible musician and was fantastic from the get go. She's friendly and professional and was super flexible with all my requests. Jenny's song list is extensive and you'll definitely find ones you know in it plus she was more than happy to learn an extra song. On the day, Jenny arrived with plenty of time to set up and start jamming. Everyone loved her set and it made the day extra amazing. What are you waiting for? Book Jenny!

Jenny was great, a really talented musician and singer and everyone thoroughly enjoyed her performance.

An effervescent storyteller with pop and fizz

...that peculiar knack for making a large space like a loungeroom.
