"We had the harmony makers sing at our wedding in spring 2025 and they were simply superb. Extremely professional and totally independent on the day, needing nothing from us, which was excellent. They brought their own equipment, great sound and all the guests said how much they enjoyed their set. They arranged a planning meeting in the lead up to the big day to go over all the details and choose songs we wanted to include. Certainly recommend for any events and will book again for future parties. NB… They also sung at my sisters wedding a capella in the church and blew everyone away!"

"Wow is the word. We had a vintage British seaside themed 30th wedding anniversary party for over 100 guest by Brighton Beach at the iconic BA 1360. Kit Packham and his brilliant band One Jump Ahead were outstanding from start to finish. We'd hired a group of swing dancers who got everybody dancing, regardless of ability! The band played everything we wanted from Glenn Miller to Aint Nobody Here But us Chickens. People just did not stop dancing! the finale New New York number resulted in 100 guests joining hands and all doing the high kicks. To say One Jump Ahead made our party go with a swing would be an understatement. I would also like to thank Kit and the band for their professionalism, time keeping and energy. Kit was so easy to deal with and the arrangements went so smoothly. I could not recommend them more highly. Book One Jump Ahead if you want your wedding / party to go with a swing!"

"Hi Chris (& other band members), Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for the amazing music & performance! So many people came up to me during the night, the next day & the day after to say how much they loved it & how great you were! It was the first time we had live music at our Christmas party & it made such a difference… it has even been titled a number of times as ‘the best Navig8 party ever’!! You were a pleasure to work with in the lead up to the event & on the night itself. Thanks very much Best Wishes."

All round great band and would definitely book them again!"

"Vernon performed at our wedding on 03.08.13 and was absolutely superb. A great variety of songs sang in his own unique style. A genuine lovely guy with a soulful voice. I would highly recommend him for any functions you are thinking of having. I for one would use vernon again in the future."

"My 40th birthday party was fast approaching and I made the decision to try and find a band as both my friends and I love to dance. A good friend recommended Goldsworth Gerry so I found where they were next playing and a group of us headed over to listen to them at a local pub. We had the best night and I didn’t hesitate to book them, they played music I have on my ipod and I love the way Martin sings so it was an easy decision to make. Martin was professional throughout our correspondence, learning four songs that meant the world to me and allowing me to organise the set list for the night. The songs they learnt I chose and then off they went to learn them and pull them together for my party night. On the night Goldsworth Gerry were there before I was!! All set up and ready to go. The music they played had everyone up and dancing, but it was the songs they learnt especially for my party were what truly made the night. Absolutely amazing night, just the way I dreamed it would be. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Goldsworth Gerry; reliable, professional and a quality band that ensures everyone is up and dancing."

"We booked Near Nashville to perform on one of our main stages for a music and food festival, they really engaged with the audience and got everything singing along which is what we were looking for. Highly recommended, and professional act. "
