Busker Jayne Snow from Rochester films man dancing to cover of Sitting on the Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding

A busker from Rochester was so impressed when an old man started dancing to one of her songs, that she dedicated it to him.

Jayne Snow has been busking at a number of London railway stations for the past two months after winning a Network Rail Scheme competition.

The 25-year-old is usually spotted at Victoria, London Bridge and Waterloo, and says she normally attracts a number of spectators.

She live streams her performances on Facebook and when she spotted a man, known as Robert, dancing along to Sitting on the Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding, she decided to dedicate the song to him, and turn the camera so the audience could appreciate his moves.

Jayne said: “I absolutely love busking, it’s crazy what goes on! I’ve had a number of people start dancing while I’m performing.

“Last week I had a ballerina start dancing in the background and a group of lads.

“It’s really good to get my music out there and the commuters are all lovely. It’s nice to be able to give something back to the community.”

Jayne gave up her job as a store manager for DIY giant Wickes, to pursue her dream of becoming a professional musician.

She said: “I said to myself that if I don’t do it now, I never will. I decided to take a leap of faith and it’s going really well.”

Jayne recently won the regional final of the Open Mic UK, run by Future Music, and is set to compete in the southern England final in Southampton later on in the month.

If she wins, Jayne will have a chance to perform in the NEC Arena in Birmingham in front of record label R&R.
