"This was as ever a great night's entertainment by a group of musicians who are masters of their craft. Kit is a consummate entertainer and very funny to boot. One Jump Ahead are always great value for money and you are always assured of a night of music and mirth."

"We saw James playing in Tribal on a Saturday night and was that impressed that we actually booked him on the same evening for our wedding anniversary party. The guy brings the night to life. We opted for James over a DJ and he did not disappoint. So many people commented the following week to us saying how much they liked him. He also takes special requests and learnt our wedding song for us. Would I book him again? Without a doubt. He knows more music than anyone I have met. "

"I just wanted to say thank you for all the great communication and help in making Claudio a part of our Wedding. He went down, as you can imagine, fantastically and really got the party atmosphere started. We couldn't fault him and I think he played everything that people requested of him. It made the day just a little different and all of the our guests have been very complimentary! Outstanding performer that effortlessly swept from table to table playing all the songs we recommended plus many spontaneous requests. A true professional that got a fun, party atmosphere started during our wedding breakfast. Thank you to Claudio and Last minute musicians for enhancing our big day!"

"So what can I say that hasn't already been said? The Fireflies lived upto & exceeded expectations. From making first contact with Ian and discussing plans & requirements, to packing away after my husband Toms 70th birthday celebration in our garden, the band were personable, friendly & professional. The music they played or included on the playlist was as requested, and was perfect for all guests to enjoy. Ian always checked that I was happy with how things were and was very reassuring, especially when he first arrived and could see how stressed I was, so that I was finally able to enjoy the party too. So many of our guests asked how I found the band, and comments such as "they're amazing", "superb band", "they're great, aren't they" & from the birthday boy himself "wow" are further testaments as to why you should seriously consider them for your event. Even uninvited neighbours, days later, said they enjoyed the music. Thank you Ian, Sam, James & Greg - you made our party memorable. We're still talking about it!"

"Taylormade Acoustic Duo played at our wedding in February 2017 and we would highly recommend them to anyone! All of our guests commented throughout the day how brilliant they were. My Husband and I have to agree that they made our day extra special, and were one of the best parts of the day. We had them play 'Songbird' whilst I walked down the aisle and it was brilliant....they had everyone crying, guests even said they sounded just like the version by 'Eva Cassidy'! Thank you Taylormade for our wedding day, you were fantastic! "

"Taylormade were wonderful from start to finish, they really made our wedding reception special! Carley Phillips is an absolutely brilliant singer and a real pleasure to work with. Her replies are always prompt, friendly and accommodating. Matt is fantastic too: a brilliant guitarist with great taste in music (we all like the Beatles!). The drummer and bass player were very good musicians and the sound was superbly balanced despite being in a marquee. The DJ sets were very good too. We had the 4 piece wedding band for 2 live sets (1 hour each) and 2 DJ sets. They seemed very good value compared to other bands of the same standard. Taylormade went out of their way many times to provide us with excellent, professional service. The highlight was my then fiance and me having a private demo of Matt and Carley's skills over Skype, because we couldn't make their showcase. It really was going beyond the call of duty! They sounded lovely, despite a slightly dodgy connection and the fact it was their first time of doing it: definitely convinced us to book them. They were flexible in the times we wanted them to play and eat, and learnt a new song for our first dance (I'm happy just to dance with you by The Beatles). They played it wonderfully, as they did all of the songs we'd picked from their set list, with a few brilliant surprises thrown in! They arrived promptly, set up quietly and parked according to our complex instructions. Carley made many clear and entertaining announcements to help everything run smoothly. For example, she announced our cake cutting, organised my bouquet toss with our photographer Becky Harley, and announced that we were about to leave so that the guests could wish us off. She looked lovely too: the whole band were well turned out. They read the mood and our tastes and got everyone dancing. I really can't recommend them enough, they enhanced our wedding hugely and lots of our guests praised them and asked for their details. I've never seen such a full dance floor at a wedding before! They were probably the most pleasurable vendors that we dealt with too (which is high praise indeed: all our vendors were fantastic!). They are very talented, always professional and extremely friendly. Thank you very much, Carley, Matt and the rest of Taylormade!"

"I would just like to thank Kevin for playing at our wedding in March. He made the perfect atmosphere for all of our quest and during the ceremony accompanied my Father and I as we walked to registra. We have had so many compliments on how fantastic our day was and it was down to Kevin making everyone feel relaxed from start to finish. Big thank you, Lesley."

"We held a Christmas function with a World War One Centenery theme. John kindly played themed songs to create an early 20th century atmosphere and was very friendly and professional. All who came to the event commented on the authenticity of the music and how much we enjoyed the classic WWI songs as well as the 20s, swing and French sounds. Thanks John!"

"Hi Lynden, I just wanted to say how much your music meant to us all yesterday. Mum loved the saxophone and I know she would’ve been smiling hearing you play some of her favourites. You were so kind and respectful – exactly the tone we needed. You helped turn what could’ve been a heavy day into something genuinely comforting. Warmly, Clare H."

"We were absolutely delighted with the sound of the band. It helped make the day a bit extra special. We had [some] really keen jazz fans among our guests and they all raved about you."
