There is an amazing story behind Jane''s current popularity. Having ''given up'' on a career in music after a decade of ''proper jobs and real life'', she recently discovered a legion of fans on the internet.
In response to this find, Jane self released ''Close Up And Real'' in February 2003 and the feedback since, has been nothing short of astonishing.
In 12 weeks her music received more than 6000 downloads.
She''s now sold over 2000 copies of Close Up And Real.
Tracks have been selected as incidental music for TV and film.
Jane was number 1 in the indie chart for 6 weeks in the summer of 2003 and her story has been featured in several UK magazines and newspapers.
Jane says: " I''m delighted and astonished by the response I''ve had. I''d long since given up any hope of doing anything with my music. Let''s face it, I''m a thirty something mother of three, hardly ''rock star'' material, yet it doesn''t seem to matter. In the current climate of an image dominated music industry I never believed I would stand a chance, yet given the choice, people really don''t seem to care that much about age, looks or status. They just like the songs and it''s brilliant...it''s exactly what music should be about."
