Homegrown talent Alexandra Jayne will be returning from London to entertain crowds at the Light House this weekend.

The 23-year-old singer-songwriter will be performing her blues/soul infested tracks in Wolverhampton backed by a band of local theatre musicians.

Her latest release, Hullabaloo, has recently featured on BBC Radio 2, although her greatest feat remains supporting James Blunt, who described her voice as 'beautiful'.

Alexandra recalls the 2014 gig at Birmingham's NIA in front of 5000 people as strange.

"The soundcheck was the most terrifying part, I remember looking up and seeing how huge it was and doing the 'one, two' check and hearing it echo and bounce around this huge arena.

"During the actual performance it was quite dark and there was spotlight on me so I couldn't actually see the audience, so I just got into my own little world and relaxed, it was over in a flash.

"I got to meet James Blunt, which was quite surreal."

The musician grew up in Telford and attended St Dominic's High School for Girls in Brewood.

At the age of 15, she started playing guitar and went onto winning her the 'Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Challenge' in 2013 whilst studying at Liverpool University. After graduating from university, she became a professional musician, amassing more than 400 gigs.
