About Me

It's all a bit of a blur...
Formed in 2003, Tales of Jenny played a handful of gigs under the name "Confessions Of Windy Miller" and recorded a seven track demo in our friend Ferg's house in the summer of 2004 before floating off to the four corners of England working for The Man.
We still exist in our heads and with loads of new songs, are just waiting for someone to show enough interest for us all to get back and make pop music again...we want to leave our day jobs to marauder around town, kick over shopping trollies, snarl at old men and put foreign coins in phone boxes - or maybe just eat fish and chips by the sea and wonder if the waves will ever get tired.
If you like anything you hear, leave a message - It will make our day - nay week.
Or if you know someone who knows someone who knows Alan McGee quite well...
All seven of the songs we recorded are available to download for free from our web site - www.talesofjenny.co.uk
STOP PRESS!!
In March 2006, we got back together for the first time in nearly two years. You can read about it in the blog, but Tales of Jenny are back!

My Blog

Infernal inactivity - an explanation

I thought I should explain why Tales of Jenny has once again come to a crunking halt. So many people have been so very nice about our music and asked us to play all over the place. It pains me to have...
