Highly recommend Kit — he has a fantastic repertoire and is incredibly professional. He arrived with all his own equipment and adapted perfectly to the space. On top of that, it was an absolute pleasure to have him perform at my birthday. He was so kind, went above and beyond, and everyone genuinely enjoyed both his presence and his performance.

Thanks Naaki! It was a bit "cosy" in the space but I was happy to squeeze in and play for your lovely family and friends, who all clearly adore you. You were an excellent hostess and looked after me as well as your guests brilliantly. I'll carry happy memories of your party for a long time!

Kit was a wonderful addition to the boat cruise I organised for my friends hen do, his sophisticated attire and flexible style (upper deck/lower deck/upper deck again!) made him a pleasure to work with and the classics he sang and played made the whole afternoon a real delight, thank you Kit!!

Kit made our Bonfire Lunch super special, reading the crown and pleasing all ears.
He is super reliable, communication is excellent, punctual and a delight to treat with him overall.
We will definitely call him again and we can recommend him 100%.

Thanks for the feedback Laura! It was a lovely event to play for and you and your team were very helpful and easy to deal with. I'd be happy to perform at another event for you whenever something suitable comes along! All the best, Kit.

Kit was booked to perform at a adult / children’s party.

Kit was excellent and managed to blend the first set into an entertaining piece for the adults and kids.

To a second set which was a perfect piece for a transition and background piece while w rate food and the kids relaxed.

The third set was much more upbeat, grey for the adult entertainment and brought an excitement to the evening.

I would not think twice about hiring Kit again. He manage our requirements perfectly , by listening to what we required and delivering on every request.

The feedback from all our guests was exceptional!

Thank you Kit and hopefully we will see you at the next event.

Roy and family

It was a lovely event, Roy! Thanks for booking me and taking the trouble to post your review too. I really appreciated your help loading my equipment in and out and providing me with complimentary refreshments. I'm so pleased that I was able to fulfil your aspirations with music for the kids as well as the adults. As you say, see you at the next event! - Kit Packham.

What a fantastic day! Getting the right music is one of the most important factors when planning an event so we were so lucky to be able to hire Kit for our golden wedding tea party. There were songs to suit everyone’s taste and who doesn’t like to hear a good saxophonist on a lovely sunny afternoon! Nothing but compliments and happy faces and would definitely like to use Kit again.

Thanks Val! It was indeed a fantastic day. So pleased that the weather was kind to us! Your consideration and hospitality was excellent and I'm delighted that it went down well with all your friends and family. Do feel free to use me again as soon as you can find another excuse! All the best - Kit.

Kit delivered a fantastic musical afternoon for our garden party, he was very flexible on the music choice and delivered a range that suited all the age groups. Kit dressed appropriately for the music he was playing and made the party atmosphere switching from singing to playing the sax from time to time.
Kit arrived before the party started and set up his considerable range of speakers and equipment.
Kits music was enjoyed by everyone and I would recommend him to anyone looking for some of those 30's/40's/50's classics that get your feet tapping and where you just cant help singing along.

Thanks John! Your family and friends were delightful company and I very much enjoyed entertaining you all. I'm glad that I was able to get the volume right to suit the situation after being a bit too loud at first. My previous job asked me to turn it UP after I started! Whatever suits the customer is my aim! So glad you enjoyed it and thanks again! - KP.

Kit made my baby shower so much fun. My guests loved having live music and some asked me for Kit's number for him to perform at their own events. Excellent value for money and really made my day special. Thanks again Kit x

Reply from Kit Packham
Thanks Cheryl. It was very nice playing in your garden for you and your charming guests. I managed to get almost all of your requests in OK. Goodness knows when I'll next be able to do this now that, thanks to Covid-19, there's a new limit of 6 people for private social gatherings! At least I'll have a pleasant memory of my last performance until things change! All the best, KP. xx

Kit was excellent and captured the mood of the evening really well. He got all the ladies singing and dancing and was definitely a big hit with them!
I would definitely recommend Kit for a such social event. A fabulous musician and singer.

We hired Kit for a solo gig at our clients 70th birthday event and he was absolutely brilliant. A professional and a pleasure to work with, he practiced specific tracks requested by our client and added some that were perfect for the Hollywood theme. On arrival he completely impressed with his classic jazz attire and stage set up. My client loved every track as did her guests bopping away to various numbers. The evening was an absolute success and i wouldn't hesitate to book Kit or his band for future Ollie Polly events.

Reply from Kit Packham
Thanks Amy! I got some nice positive feedback from your client and her guests and I was very impressed with how well-organised and professionally you got everything done - including my payment! A pleasure to work with you too and I hope that we get to repeat the experience before long! - Kit Packham.

I am so pleased to find Kit on Last Minute Musicians. My uncle who turned 80 last Saturday was very happy, the guests are well entertained and even the children enjoyed his music. His music is classy and saxophone is extra special. It was a fantastic night. Thank you Kit, it will not be last time you will hear from us.

Reply from Kit Packham
Thanks for your comments, Alarina. Your uncle was a real character and his family and friends a very nice bunch of people. Thanks for making me so welcome and I'm delighted that everyone enjoyed themselves. - Kit.

I was lucky enough to book Kit at relatively short notice to play at a lunch held to celebrate my parents diamond wedding anniversary. It was a surprise gift for my parents and he was keen to make the event extra special. In all my dealings with him prior to the event he was flexible and accommodating, eager to build in some of our ideas as well as offer some of his own form past experience. On the day he turned up with plenty of time and set up discretely in the room while other arrangements were a made. He played 2 sets and left us with background music to enjoy in between. His choice of playlist was spot on for the audience. The lunch was for just over 30 people who all thoroughly enjoyed Kit's playing and his singing. All agreed it really made the event come to life and has been the subject of many positive comment since, most importantly my parents were delighted with the surprise. Thanks again to Kit for his marvelous contribution

Reply from Kit Packham
Thanks, Di! It was a very pleasant occasion and I enjoyed playing and singing for you all. Glad that you and your party had a good time. I found you nice and easy to deal with too and would be happy to do another one next time you have a suitable occasion. - KP.

Kit was a huge success with our customers and a few sat down and tapped along to a variety of songs he performed on his saxophone. We had various compliments and Kit is due back at our Centre in November. Highly recommend his services.

Reply from Kit Packham
Thanks Sharon! I'm looking forward to another visit to Notcutts and hope that your customers will enjoy it as much as they did the first time. All the best, Kit Packham.

Kit was extremely well received by our membership (and by me). I have already had requests for his return. He appeared solo, and played a good mixture of well known jazz standards, rock and roll, and ballads, and there was singing along going on! Some of our members now want to hear him with his band as well.

A very good evening event for us.

Reply from Kit Packham
Thanks Mike. A lovely friendly audience who made me feel very welcome and were a pleasure to entertain. I'm delighted that the evening was a success and I look forward to playing for you again! - KP.
