"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.

"Anna Leigh was amazing. She adapted well to all songs from all eras and managed to get everybody up dancing! She completely looked and sounded the party. Couldn’t have asked for better wedding entertainment and guests throughout the night commented on how great she was"

"Every letter I have received thanking me for my party mentions the music - a talented and versatile band creating just the right sound for the occasion. Sarah-Jane is quite delightful to work with and her attention to detail is perfect."

"Lauren sings with poise, swing, impeccable time and recognises humour and irony in a lyric... She is the natural successor to Blossom Dearie, Anita O'Day, Etta Jones, Ella and Carmen... and is the best export from Canada since Diana Krall, Joni Mitchell and pure mountain air."

"We hired The very popular Polka Dot Peaches for an event in June. They were amazing and were terrific with the little girls afterwards in taking some time to allow for photos to be taken. All three are not only professional but very easy to get along with. We would certainly book them again."

"I booked Ma Bessie for a corporate summer event and they were brilliant, the music was spot on and their interaction and narrative with the crowd was superb. I had excellent feedback about Ma Bessie from the audience who absolutely loved the performance. Thank you so much, Julia Titus. I highly recommend and would book them again. "

"Boogie Bumpers was booked for a 60th birthday party, having found the band online. As advertised it is a swing and jive band, so clearly not suitable if you are wanting more modern music. The evening more than met our expectations and a fantastic evening was had by all. We have nothing but absolute praise and positivity for the experience. The seven piece band brought energy and professional musicality to the occasion and we were fantastically entertained. They performed two one hour sets with a mix of slower and more energetic numbers. The vocalist was superb and set the right tone for the evening. It was loud for a small pub Tithe Barn venue but that was good. We cannot thank Andrew enough for the way he was able to accommodate our requirements. This was originally booked for mid July but, because of illness in our family, it had to be postponed until late September. This proved no problem to the band. Andrew's communication throughout via email was excellent and welcome. Probably to get the best from the band, the venue could have been a little bigger (to get the very best from the band they need a venue that houses 50-60+ comfortably) and they would be especially suited to a wedding reception venue. Although the cost appeared a little prohibitive for the sort of gathering and numbers we were expecting for this party, the price paid in the end was excellent value and worth every penny. Our sincere thanks go to Andrew and his fellow band members for providing us with lovely memories, hopefully, for years to come!"
