A CHESTER singer and her band performed on the BBC Introduction Stage at Leeds and Reading Festival.

Jen Davies, from Upton, is lead singer with Liverpool-based Soft Toy Emergency.

Jen met her band mates Luciano Rossi, George Sharpe, Andy Willers and Will Blackaby while studying music at Liverpool University.

The band performed at Glastonbury and went down a storm with festival-goers. Soon after they were signed by the Universal record label All Around the World who also have Cascada and Danni Minogue on their books.

This weekend they performed their new single Critical along with other tracks to crowds at both venues.
