If you are looking for something special for your wedding, corporate event or party, Jennie can bring that special musical touch to your day. Jennie is available either alone, in a duo, trio or with her band, Rough Hill.
Jennie began her musical career in the classical world. She is both a trained opera singer and an excellent pianist. She studied at the Royal Northern College of Music under the tutelage of Barbara Robotham, where she won the Elsie Thurston, John Wray and Kate Snape prizes for singing.
She was generously awarded a major scholarship by the Peter Moores Foundation, and the MSM Centenary Scholarship, to continue her post-graduate studies at the RNCM. Immediately following the RNCM, she worked with both Clonter Opera and with Opera North, but shortly afterwards chose to follow a career as a singer/songwriter.
She now performs throughout the country accompanying herself on piano, and with the ‘Rough Hill’ Band (a 5-piece soul-based cover band). Jennie’s style is very diverse and she has been involved in a number of projects and collaborations as well as her own original music. She has enjoyed regular work writing and recording jingles for Rock FM and has been lucky enough to write and record with Reece Gilmore, producer of Blue and Atomic Kitten.
Jennie appeared on the BBC2 talent series “Let Me Entertain You” in which she was a semi-finalist and amongst other projects so far this year she has worked with Paul Heaton of The House Martins and The Beautiful South.
At the end of 2010 Jennie had the privilege of being voted ‘Wedding Singer of the Year 2010’ by The Bridal Magazine and also released her album of original songs, “Fighting The Fairytale”. It has been her biggest project to date – forming her own record label “Little Me Records” and putting all aspects of the production of the cd together herself.

Phil Smith, Client Relationship Executive, Manchester United Ltd
Jennie was invited to perform at an exclusive evening for our top level executives at Manchester United. To say that she wowed the crowd is an understatement. Her music is elegant and her vocals are fantastic. I would highly recommend Jennie to anyone looking for a top level musician. We have more events this year and I have no doubt who I will be trying to book. Thanks and good luck, your fans at Manchester United.
Dominic & Sarah Bovis, wedding ceremony
I was not prepared for your performance of our favourite songs which was simply beyond perfect. I can honestly say I was reduced to tears by the sound and atmosphere you created.
Mike and Justine Moorhouse, wedding ceremony
So many of our guests were literally blown away by your voice and commented on how personal and intimate your songs made the ceremony.
Mark & Sally Allardyce, wedding ceremony
Your voice, delivery and demeanour created a magical atmosphere and charged those present with a great deal of emotion.
Matt Fleming, Aylesworth Fleming Limited
Thanks for such a great performance at our launch party at Establishment on Thursday evening. You looked great, sung beautifully and were lots of fun too! Here's to the next gig you do for us!
Heather, MIKE MARSHALL EVENTS
Hi Jennie, Just like to pass on comments from John West – James said the evening was a great success and you went down a storm – so thank you so much for a job well done. Hopefully we can work together again in the future.
Laura Shuttleworth, Senior Event Manager, TEAM SPIRIT
A great big thank you for helping make ASDA Shining Stars Award Dinner such a massive success! Your singing and piano playing were, as usual, fantastic and helped make ASDA’s VIP guests feel that extra bit special.
Ian Taylor, Director, TEAM SPIRIT
The feedback, which we received throughout the course of the evening included “Exquisite”, “Beautiful voice” and “Fabulous”, which goes to show that you are a credit to work with.
Over the last couple of years Jennie has been involved in a broad spectrum of music and events, she has travelled widely, singing in places such as Monte Carlo, Venice and Cannes where she sang at a MIPIM event hosted by Gary Lineker. She supported Heather Small for the Manchester Tourism awards at the GMEX hosted by Vernon Kay, sang at the Bridgewater Hall with the Royal Marines and the Coronation Street cast as part of a charity concert in aid of The Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital and also gave two special performances for Rocco Forte at his very own Lowry Hotel in Manchester.
Appearances include the Royal Albert Hall as a guest soloist with the West-End Rat Pack Show, a night with ‘Rough Hill’ in London hosted by Trevor Nelson and at Old Trafford for a number of evenings in aid of Sir Alex Ferguson's favourite charity, UNICEF.
Notable performances have been at Ricky Tomlinson's wedding, Manchester United’s Old Trafford for the Champion's League Final, the opening of Harvey Nichols in Manchester and an appearance at Ronnie Scott's famous jazz club in London. She also sang at Wayne Rooney's I8th birthday party, Charles Kennedy's birthday at London's Dorchester Hotel, the Carlton Tower Hotel with Brian Connelly, the Manchester United Players' Christmas party and Arsenal’s Martin Keown's testimonial dinner at the London Hilton. More recently, Jennie has had a number of engagements at The Ritz, London, has sung for the Blackburn Rovers for their Player of the Year awards, and has also had the pleasure of playing for footballer Neil Mellor’s wedding in Liverpool.
Jennie offers various musical services for your big day or corporate event:
Music during your wedding ceremony, champagne reception, wedding breakfast, corporate dinner and then also soul/funk band "Rough Hill", which Jennie fronts for your evening entertainment.
If you would like more than one service for your event then she offers 'package prices' which brings the cost of your music down.
If you decide you'd like Jennie to play for your wedding ceremony then you will need 4 songs. (One to walk in to, two during the signing of the register and one for you both to walk out to.) Please see her set lists for ideas.
Of course if you have a song you'd like that Jennie doesn't already know then that's no problem at all, it's all part of the service to learn new songs and sing you down the aisle to something special on your big day!
All Jennie's fees include providing all her own equipment, travel expenses so there are no hidden costs.
She is self contained - and has her own piano / keyboard and PA system and her equipment is sufficient for anything up to about 150-200 people (this applies to the band as well).
Should your hotel/venue ask for it, she has public liability insurance through the Musician's Union and all her equipment is kept up to date with PAT testing.
Ceremony: Music beforehand whilst guests arrive and 4 songs during the ceremony
Reception drinks (Wedding or corporate): 2 x 45 minute sets or one hour and a half set
Wedding Breakfast or Corporate meal: 2 x 45 minute sets or one hour and a half set
Rough Hill Band: 2 x 45 minute sets or one hour and a half set
