"We spent a great deal of time trying to find the right group to play at our summer wedding, and were so lucky to find Evelyn & the Band. We were spellbound by their demo songs and videos, which they easily outperform in person. Their repertoire is very broad, which makes them perfect for the wide spectrum of tastes at a typical wedding. The band contacted us well in advance to get a feel for the music we wanted, and how they would fit into the programme for the day. After our first chat, they produced a draft playlist, which they were happy to tweak to include a few favourites. They also offered to learn whatever we wanted for our first dance, and gave such a spellbinding performance of it on the night that we had to dance for nearly two minutes on our own before the best man could snap everyone out of it! They brought some fun background tunes to play whilst they weren’t on stage, and were very helpful in explaining what we should provide in the way of power and space for them to perform. They gave a really fabulous performance, getting folks dancing and singing along throughout the evening. We couldn’t have been more delighted with their music, or enjoyed ourselves more. We thoroughly recommend you book them while you can!"

"We organised for Kit and the band to play at my mother in laws surprise birthday party and couldn’t have been happier. Their sound is absolutely flawless and made the party so special. An amazing songbook appealing to all the guests, young and old. Fabulous band who made our event even more special. Thanks Kit and One Jump Ahead ! "

Darinka, it was a pleasure to play for Audrey's party and to organise some of the finer points with you beforehand. As I anticipated, the dreaded sound-limiter didn't create any problems for us. It was delightful to see how the youngest of the party-goers were fascinated by the band and gratifying to get a number of compliments from the adults. Thanks for booking us and for your kind remarks above. You know where to find us when you're planning Audrey's 90th! Best wishes, Kit Packham, bandleader, One Jump Ahead.

"Phenomenal! We love alternative versions of songs and something different to have for our cocktail reception and these glamorous ladies where just AMAZING! The set they did was fresh and entertaining but also familiar for all age groups. We loved their vibe and they were really easy to work with throughout!"

"The International Klezmer Collective both share a vivacious and infectious enthusiasm for the world of music, an enthusiasm which is not wedded to any particular tradition but instead stems from a fundamental interest in human expression. Together they make music which is nothing short of magical, borne of true friendship, shared experience, mutual trust, and a willingness to surrender in performance through listening "

"It all went extremely well, from booking, organising and set up and the set was excellent. I would highly recommend both Red & Black and Rory & his band. It was excellent and I will definitely be booking again."

"The band played great music, they had great melody and guests commented on this. They played for my parents 40th wedding anniversary 8th Sept 2018. Fun was had by all. The band played a good selection of music and lots of guests commented on this also. My parents thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The Tom Belbin Trio Jazz Band really made it a good party and are a very talented band. I have to say they were also very accommodating, as we had long speeches etc.. I would have no problem in recommending The Grand Central Trio jazz band."

"Thank both you and Paul for a wonderful evening of entertainment you were truly wonderful, and incredibly professional in every way. I had to turn around and organise a Diamond Wedding Anniversary Party for my Parents for yesterday and that is why I am so late in thanking you both for everything."
