68 Year Old Sings AC/DC Highway To Hell!

BIOGRAPHY

 Jenny Darren – a singer from the age of 12; grew up & socialised with such rock notables as ‘Robert Plant’ and The  Band of Joy: Slade, Jeff Lynne, Glenn Hughes ( of Trapeze and Deep Purple fame) Don Fardon, Carl Wayne and The Move, Jimmy Page etc. Performing initially at West Midlands & Birmingham venues, handled by the same local Agents who were instrumental in booking many of the above.

 Heavily influenced by local rhythm & bluesplayers, she went on to obtain a deal with the folk/blues label  ‘Transatlantic  records’ in her formative teenage years. Eventually in her early twenties, Jenny burst onto the Rock scene supporting AC/DC on a six week U.K. Tour. Probably the only Female rock singer who has ever done so.

Missing out by a hairs breadth, with a late single release of “HEARTBREAKER” which was a hit for American Rock  vocalist Pat Benatar (but written for her) by Manchester songwriting team – Geoff Gill & Cliff Wade.

     After recording and releasing no less than four albums on DJM records, featuring the likes of future Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain, and many gigs, tours ,& Festivals later, she hung up her rock heels for a more standard attire; giving up the rock world & travelling in to other more jazz & crossover classical avenues.

Fast forward, and 2015 saw her returning again to her rock roots. Angel Air records released a’ Best of’ Compilation of the DJM vinylreleases, getting Jenny’s music onto CD for the first time.Ultimately deciding to re record “Heartbreaker”on the recommendation of a friend, she began to work on a brand new album.

 On the forthcoming release of the ” JENNY DARREN AND THE LADYKILLERS  ALBUM”,  two versions ofHEARTBREAKER are featured, plus a brand new take on her rock classic..”LADYKILLER”, amongst a host of other gems are original songs, penned by the lady herself & other musicians  (guitarist – Robin George) interspaced between other classics both old & new.

Jenny currently has a NEW BAND, & has been touring consistently since June 2017. After her recent success on ”BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT”

 …..This little lady is once again set to “Raise the roof” off the ROCK WORLD, for the second time in her life.
