"We had the absolute joy of having Muriele French Singer perform at our wedding, and she was truly unforgettable. From the moment she sang Amazing Grace at the church, her voice filled the space with such emotion and beauty. Later, as the room was turned around and our evening guests arrived, Muriele delivered a stunning repertoire that created the perfect atmosphere. Two songs in particular—No Regrets by Édith Piaf and At Last by Etta James—were incredibly special to us. When she sang them, it felt like a secret, early first dance. It was so intimate, romantic, and moving. Our guests are still talking about the magic she brought to the day. Muriele didn’t just perform—she became part of the memory, and we’ll cherish it forever. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to add something truly special and soulful to their celebration. 💫🎶 Thank you, Mr & Mrs Fisher 💖 "

"The ultra-stylish Kit Packham’s One Jump Ahead band is now 30 years old. For this Sunday afternoon gig at the award-winning Hideaway, they performed a rollicking set of songs ranging from 1940s and 1950s jump/jive, R&B and classic rock ‘n’ roll, to jazz standards and originals, featuring the band’s core seven-piece line-up: Bandleader and composer, Kit Packham on saxophones and lead vocal, Steve Knight on guitar, Perry White on piano, Alex Keen on double bass, Kenrick Rowe on drums, Tracey Mendham on saxophones and vocals, and Simon Da Silva on trumpet and flugelhorn. Striking in a blue pinstripe suit and fedora, Packham resembled Frank Sinatra, and he introduced numbers in a clear and informative way. They opened with one of the band’s original tunes, ‘Swing It’, which immediately propelled people to the dance floor. The band’s perky theme tune, ‘One Jump Ahead’, contained one of Packham’s signature, impactful abrupt endings and deadpan Knight added even more colour to the act by performing a nose flute solo on The Blues Brothers classic, ‘Minnie the Moocher’. White nailed a stunning boogie-woogie piano solo punctuated by thrillingly deep bass notes from Mendham on baritone saxophone on ‘Choo Choo Ch’Boogie’, and they even managed to squeeze in a world premiere featuring Vera Lynn’s World War II song, ‘We’ll Meet Again’: Loosely named ‘The Last Song Of The Set’, it cleverly welded an old song onto a new one. Eventually the two tunes overlapped, bringing the gig to an impressive end. The time flew; a sure sign that Kit Packham’s One Jump Ahead with its thoroughly well-written arrangements and heartfelt blend of comedy and music, had done a fine job of bringing this classy joint to life."
