Peachy
Jane's sound has been compared to David Byrne and Neil Young
however, the band's music encompasses an electic range of styles
from reggae to jazz with a rock twist. A comment from one of
the demo panel was, "There's definitely something going
on there..."

from folk, to blues, rock and pop, reggae and jazz. Favourtie bands
are Fleetwood Mac and The Eurythmics and even some Kylie! Early
experiences of listening to her Grandad's jazz collection inspired
a love of it and later on visits to Bournemouths Folk Club gave
inspiration also from the many great players and songwriters on
