Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"Tijuca Taxi played at our anniversary party. He is an extremely talented multi-instrumentalist. He impressed everyone with his playing and singing and he was the talk of the evening. Live music adds a special dimension to an event and there is no better person to provide this than Tijuca Taxi. He is reliable, flexible and professional. We have no hesitation in recommending him. We look forward to booking Tijuca Taxi again for all our future family events."

"Thank you for your superb efforts at out ruby wedding celebrations. We had a fantastic night throughout and your music contributed hugely to this success. I don't think I have ever before been on my feet from start to finish and even then, thought the end was only the interval! Everybody truly enjoyed the music and dancing which helped to cap a great night. - Mr J. Roddy, Surrey - (Wedding anniversary)"

"Hi Paul, Please could you pass on my thanks to the whole band who were absolutely superb on Saturday. For many it was the highlight of the evening and brought back memories of their service in the Caribbean.My only regret is that I couldn't spend more time listening and dancing but I'm sure there will be plenty of other opportunities. I hope you enjoyed yourselves too and that you'll come back next time to entertain us. Once again, thank you for making the evening one to remember for all our guests. Regards,"

"Bethany was absolutely amazing and made our big day so much more special! I really wish we had her for longer now as we didn't get to enjoy her as much as our guests as we were out having pictures taken. But it was lovely to know that all our guests were being entertained by her and her beautiful voice whilst we weren't there. Thank you Bethany xx"

"Where to begin! Goldsworth gerry played at our wedding on Friday, we were absolutely blown away with how fantastic they were live! Through covid we have only been able to watch online videos of this awesome duo, and they did not disappoint! Nearly every guest has commented to say how great you were! Our first dance song was perfect and learnt especially for us by Stuart and Martin and was beautifully sung! They were fantastic to deal with when we had to postpone our first wedding, compassionate yet professional. We honestly couldnt recommend you highly enough! Thank you both so much!"

Hi Hollie and Cory. Many thanks for your kind and thoughtful review. We are so happy to hear that you all had a great night and that, after having to postpone the original June date due to covid restrictions, we were finally able to provide you with the night you wanted! We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together :-) Best wishes, Martin and Stuart

"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."
