She started playing Traditional Old Time Banjo then switched and formed a Jazz band, and went on playing Dixieland and Trad Jazz for a few years.Jenny also started playing the Pedal Steel Guitar and enjoyed playing both of these instruments in a country band. Her rise into the top list of Country Entertainers in NZ began in 1979 at the South Island Country Music Awards in Christchurch where she took out 4 awards including The “South Island Overall Country Music Artist” and “The Most outstanding Country Music Artist of the year.” The Banjo Favourites CD has a variety of different types of music and styles.
