Jenny Wren

15-year-old Jenny Allen first came to notice in Wolverhampton in 1964 when she was backed by the group Les Jondors and apparently got her break when one of Fontana's A&R men, Jack Baverstock heard her. in 1965 (whilst still a pupil at the Sir Gilbert Claughton School in Dudley) she changed her name to Jenny Wren and signed a recording contract with Fontana. She released two records on Fontana, Chasing My Dream All Over Town and The Merry-Go-Round Is Slowing You Down. In the 1970s as Jenny Darren she released four albums of which 'Queen of Fools' was the most successful. She returned to recording in 2017 after a long hiatus.
