"A lovely set performed by a lady with a beautiful voice. Fleur came along to play at my mother's 90th birthday party and entertained everyone with her wonderful soulful tones. A great evening complimented wonderfully by an excellent performer. Thank you Fleur."

"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."

"We recently had the pleasure of hosting Jo at our work event in Elephant and Castle, and they were absolutely fantastic! Their set was spot-on, filled with perfect tunes that everyone knew and loved, creating a great atmosphere that kept the energy high throughout the night. They even took requests, which made the experience feel even more personalised and special for our team. Not only were they organised and professional, but they were also genuinely lovely people to work with. Jo brought such warmth and charm to our event – we couldn't have asked for a better performance! Highly recommended for any occasion! "

"We had a brilliant event and the artist you provided for us, Kai, was absolutely fantastic. Her costume/make up and band were exactly what we wanted for our 1940's themed party. Everyone took to the dance floor and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Thank you Last Minute Musicians and thank you Kai would definitely use both again in the future."

"We hired Love For Sale for a client reception for around 100 people. The band was professional, on time, and flexible to our musical needs. They were able to alter their sound levels as necessary, and were very open to our comments throughout the night. I would definitely recommend Love For Sale for your corporate event. "

"When I first saw him, I was so amazed at his talent and style and how he appealed to all age groups, I immediately booked him for a private function. Neither I nor my guests were disappointed and as the years have gone on he has got better and better becoming a staunch professional and not just as a 'crooner' but as an entertainer. I have been to several of his gigs and can only say that as his voice has got stronger, his repertoire larger, it gets harder and harder to book seats which shows just how high his popularity is and deservedly so as well. I would have no problem with recommending Tom to any of my friends or indeed to anybody in the leisure industry who is looking for a talented and professional singer to entertain their customers."

"Stevie was born in the wrong decade. He would have fit right in back in the glory days of the Rat Pack. Such an unexpected surprise when we saw him appear at the Winter Gardens in Morecambe."

"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."

"Possibly the greatest live singer ever! James and his band absolutely made our wedding and our guests were all blown away by how amazing his voice was. Would recommend him to any one for a wedding, party or just some amazing background music! Thanks again James!"
