Mojo Moves Memorial

Prompted by regular Mojo Mover Jayne James’ recent appearance on The Repair Shop, and, as part of the wider Frome Connects project, this special session will have a playlist shaped by songs that remind us of people we love and miss.
Jayne appeared on the BBC1 show with her childhood teddy bear – a small companion with an extraordinary story.
The bear was originally given to her mum, Betty, a nurse at St Martin’s Hospital in Bath, in 1960 by Hollywood songwriter Sharon Sheeley, shortly after she survived the car crash that tragically killed her boyfriend, rock ’n’ roll legend Eddie Cochran.
At the time, Betty was pregnant, and the bear was passed on to baby Jayne, becoming a lifelong companion.
Jayne lost her mum last year, and her story led us to think about how powerfully music can hold memories. Our initial idea was to create a rock ’n’ roll special featuring the music of Eddie Cochran, but we decided instead to open it up – inviting all participants to share songs that hold personal meaning.
You’re very welcome to send in a song – just please do so at least one week in advance, as we’ll be choreographing any new tracks ahead of time.
There will still be all the usual Mojo Moves energy, warmth and connection – just with an added layer of meaning.
Proceeds will go to a charity of Jayne’s choice.
