Quite possibly the best tribute act in recent times. Sarah Jayne took the audience on a fantastic journey through the bursting career of the legendary Dolly, supported by an equally brilliant Kenny Rogers tribute act, Andy Crust.
Not only did they look every bit the part of their tributes, with authentic costumes and stage show, but the real proof came when they started to sing. Sarah Jayne has a voice so similar to Dolly Parton's that if you closed your eyes you could easily be mistaken into thinking you were in the presence of the iconic country singer herself.
Every favourite hit was covered so well it had the audience up from their seats dancing and clapping along. In a lot of ways it is better than the real thing, you wouldn't be able to feel that involved if it was the real thing, and to be honest she sounds so much like her it doesn't matter that its not.
Sarah Jayne's reputation holds her highly as a top of the industry tribute act, with Kenny Rogers himself endorsing her and stating on his website that "Sara Jayne and Andy Crust are Europe's leading Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers tribute act", something that since seeing with my own eyes i agree with whole-heartedly!
An amazing evening, different, fun and spectacular from start to finish, Dolly fan or not, I would recommend Sarah Jayne and Andy to everyone, and have been since the show i attended.
you came to Groundlings Theatren Southsea on Saturday night. We just wanted to say what a great night we had - do excuse our line dancing - and what a charming lady you are. We honestly went home feeling like we'd met the real Dolly! In fact we haven't been in this much buzz about a gig since we all went to see Take That! And that is praise indeed : )
Thanks again
Us gels in Southsea

What an Amazing couple to work with, Fabulous Look, Outstanding Vocals, easy to deal with and will do anything to cater for your needs.
Lisa and i got Married in Cyprus and had a Fabulous after party and Reception a month Later at the superb Oldwalls Venue in the Gower, South Wales. Lisa has always adored Dolly Parton so what better way to surprise her by Dolly being there! Im being serious when i say you have to look twice to realise its not the real one but the vocals..... Well... You'd never say it was anyone else apart from the real thing.
What Sarah-Jayne and Andy done for us on the night was Special and the word everyone wants to hear is proffesional... Well Proffesional is an understatement.
This tribute act created their show around our needs, I was able to choose all Lisa's favorite songs and what was hilarious but made the night was sarah-Jayne allowed me to open the show to my wife singing up to the chorus of 'Islands in the stream' (which i would never ever do again). but went down a storm... hahaha.
This act absolutely stole the show and was a huge talking point not only on the night but still today friends comment on how fabulous they both were! Sarah-jayne singing alone was out of this world but Andy singing alonside her as Kenny Rodgers was Perfect.
I cant speak highly enough of this couple and what they do for an event, Very easy to talk to, simple to deal with, and the best thing for us was that they are very hard workers and were willing to travel pretty much the length of the country to perform for us!
100% recommended so without any doubt if your looking for a 'Dolly'... Then this is your Girl.
Kind Regards

Sarah Jayne gives a wonderful feel good show. She truly entertains and you feel as if she is performing just for you! Sarah is so authentic as Dolly that you forget it's not really Dolly you are watching!
She sings all your favourite songs, interacts with the audience and her costumes are beautiful.
I can't believe how much she sounds like Dolly!
Selfishly I just wanted the show to go on and on!
You must go and see for yourself! I can't wait for my next time!

An evening with Dolly Parton is exactly what you get! Sarah Jayne is amazing! You forget it isnt really Dolly and you get swept up in the music and fun. Sarah Jayne interacts with the audience and makes you feel part of the show. Everyone was singing and dancing and the atmosphere was wonderful! I can't stress enough how authentic Sarah is and how she makes you feel most welcome! She has a beautiful powerful voice and selfishly when she had finished I just wanted more! I would definately go and see her again and I'm telling all my friends about her too!

Cannot wait to get the chance to see her again.

The Dolly Parton Tribute Act Show is the best there is, sarah Jayne does Dolly Parton proud, the way she sings, talks and jokes throughout the show is amazing and never fails to get the audience on their feet and joining in. Her personality and talent shine through for all to see and admire, I have seen the show a few times now and along with her husband Andy aka kenny Rogers they certainly put on a show to remember, I look forward to seeing many more of their shows, thank you Sarah Jayne and Andy for everything that you bring to the show truly genuine great people x

Met Sarah Jayne 3 years ago and was amazed and blown away with her show, have been a fan of hers ever since! Not only does she sound like her but her attention to detail in costumes, makeup and Dolly's mannerisms is just fantastic. She has such a warm personality just like Dolly and her husband (Kenny Rogers Tribute) compliments the show very well. I think Sarah Jayne is the most realistic Dolly Parton Tribute Act that I've ever seen and definitely does the really Dolly proud.
(Posted on 2011-09-29 16:09:00 by Emma Bryan)
I've seen Sarah perform as Dolly Parton Tribute act show with Kenny Rogers several times and they are very authentic. The show is completely live too ;-) Sarah takes you on a tour de force of Dolly's career also encorpartaing some country classic in the set for good measure. All the venues that I have seen them perform at have been at capacity and the atmospehere has been electric. I honestly can't wait to see them perform again. An excellent act that deserves to be busy and well loved x

Sarah-Jayne and her husband, Andy are such amazing people. My family and I have seen Sarah-Jayne perform many times now along with other people coming with us. She always manages to involve us in her shows - making me and my sister feel really special.
My sister really enjoys the nights out when we go and see her as she is a massive Dolly fan! Sarah-Jayne sounds just like her and it is her voice, there is no lip-singing involved and she really sounds like her. :)
Lots of love!

we've seen Sarah Jayne quite a few times and she is fantastic. We originally went because my daughter, Talia, who has cerebral palsy is a huge Dolly fan. More and more people came with us every time and all came away Sarah Jayne/Dolly fans. She puts on a fabulous show, she acts like the great lady and she sings like the great lady. She's also a wonderful person (along with her husband) and has made my daughter feel very special. Thank you very much.

Absolutely amazing :) Seen you twice and would deafinately see you again!! Sounds and looks just like Dolly and even speaks like her!! Such fun nights when Sarah Jayne aka Dolly is around and remember I will always love you xxx

I have seen the Dolly Parton Tribute Act many times and its always fantastic, which is why I keep going back for more. On hearing Sarah Jaynes amazing voice you will think its the real Dolly. When she sings Coat of Many Colours and Rose Garden it gives me goosebumps and Sarah Jayne is always willing to take requests. The whole performance will leave you breathless and wanting to see her again, the best show I've seen, thanks Sarah Jayne x
(Posted on 2011-09-28 18:45:00 by Nicola How)
Dolly / Jayne seen you a couple of times at the Panahar in Sanderstead, what can i say, absolutely fantastic, you do her proud, I cannot wait to see you again.
(Posted on 2011-09-28 10:17:00 by Amanda)
Amazing night at The Panahar Resturant in Surrey, Thanks to you Dolly and Kenny so looking forward to the Christmas gig on the 5th December xx much love Kate and Jane xx
I close my eyes and hear that pure satin voice with the tender inflections in her tones. Dolly! I open my eyes and behold the beauty and elegance of the Queen of my country heart. Dolly! Am I sure this aren't the real Dolly and the one from Tennessee is your tribute. Sarah you are brilliant and shine brighter than the country legend herself. I am glad you work more than just '9-5'!
My sister and I have seen Sarah Jayne perform as Dolly twice. We did not expect to be blown away but we were;- Even more so second time around! Our family have always been huge fans of country music and many of Dolly and Kenny's songs bring back wonderful memories (Precious memories as Dolly would say)!
We particularly like it when she sings I never promised you a rose garden, even though it is not a song normally associated with Dolly for us, we love it!
Two doors down and Coat of many colours are Sarah Jayne's best for me personally!
As for Kenny Rogers Tribute, well I have trouble remembering that he is not ACTUALLY Kenny lol....
Sarah Jayne does Dolly totally proud and we will be aiming to see her perform this act as many times as possible!
If you love Dolly....... Sarah is the next best thing!
