Jane Tucker

Who is Jane Tucker?

Jane Tucker is a singer, song writer and pianist. She is best known for being part of the musical trio Rod, Jane and Freddy. Jane was born into a family with an artistic background. Her grandmother was an opera singer, her mother a pianist, and her father was Rex Tucker, the drama director for the BBC. She first started to play the piano when she was three, having been given lessons by her mother. Jane's first ambition was to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a concert pianist, but as a teenager she decided she would rather be an actress. This ambition is what lead her to be trained at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where she continued her piano and singing whilst embarking on a full time drama course. After graduating, she followed the classic route of repertory theatre, touring, TV, and radio, where she met and eventually married Rod Burton.
