More about the musician….Jayne Lewis is an accomplished singer/songwriter from the North east of England.  She has been singing since the age of 14, playing piano since the age of 11, and doing her best to teach herself guitar since the age of 20! Jayne has 2 solo albums under her belt.  ‘Orange sky’ was released in 2004, after Jayne was signed up by the major Christian recording company, ‘Authentic Media’.  This signing was based solely on the strength of a rough demo, which was passed on to the A&R manager there. Then after a few years, Jayne had accumulated enough equipment, talented friends, and expertise to produce her own second album, ‘Exactly where I am’ in 2009.  The D.I.Y label ‘Eclectic Records’ was set up by Jayne and the entire album (except for a few ‘live’ tracks) was recorded in her spare bedroom! For more details and reviews on these albums please see the music pages on this site. To hear some music visit – www.myspace.com/jaynelewis
