Jayne Darling - Vintage Singer

06/04/2026

Bit of a busy Easter weekend this one…
Friday I was at Kingfisher Court in Sutton-in-Ashfield — always a nice one to do, and the residents and staff made me very welcome.

Saturday was a private party then Sunday I was over at Nottingham Care Village for their Easter Fayre — loads going on and a really good turnout from relatives. They always make a huge effort for special occasions.

And today I’m at Eyres Monsell Social Club in Leicester, but this time running a children’s disco… which is slightly different to the usual set list 😂

Nice mix of jobs this weekend — keeps things interesting!

Friday was a lovely day - first over at the Oaklands for a Mother's Day lunch then headed over to Derby for a special birthday celebration - made even more special by an appearance by Tom the therapy dog from Jack and Pals Therapy Dogs . A perfect day to wear my jewellery from and hair flowers and corsage from Miss Bella's Blooms

Hope you all had a lovely weekend - we went out to Ask in Lincoln yesterday with all the family.

Had such a lovely day yesterday working as an extra on a short film set in 1937 – completely my era. We were filming at the gorgeous Hotham Hall, which was the perfect backdrop for it all.

I got to spend the day with my fabulous 40s “husbands” Johnny Victory - Vintage Singer and Entertainer and The James, and it was so nice seeing lots of familiar faces from the vintage scene.

On the way home I nipped into Sheffield to see one of my daughters and we went out for a Thai meal. Properly rounded off a really good day.

A really special afternoon performing at Millfield Nursing Home in Bolsover for their Veterans Afternoon Tea 🇬🇧

I had the pleasure of singing a selection of wartime favourites and classic songs from the 40s, with plenty of singing along, toe-tapping and a few lovely memories shared along the way.

Bolsover is best known for its impressive Bolsover Castle, built in the 1600s and standing proudly over the town — a proper Derbyshire landmark and a great setting to be back performing in the area.

Thank you to the team at Millfield for such a well-organised afternoon and for looking after everyone so brilliantly.

If you’re planning a veterans event, afternoon tea, VE Day celebration or entertainment for a care or community setting, I’d be delighted to be part of it.
