Jenny Fay and Friends | The Angel, Woolhampton

Sat 24 June | Jenny Fay and Friends | Jenny Fay vocals, Simon Cook piano, Rudy Cook bass, Jim Wade drums | The Angel, Woolhampton RG7 5RT | 8pm | Free entry

Jenny’s early influences as a jazz singer naturally include Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald but she has found inspiration from many other singers with current obsessions including Gregory Porter, China Moses and the wonderful Liane Carroll.

Jenny has been fortunate enough to be tutored by Liane Carroll and has learnt from her the importance of crafting a song to tell a story that touches hearts. More recently Jenny has studied under Emilia Mårtensson, a winner of the Jazz Vocalist of the Year in the Parliamentary Jazz Awards.
