"We just wanted to let you know how amazing Uptown Groove were at our wedding on Sunday. They got everyone up dancing and were perfect for the atmosphere we wanted - and so talented too. We've had so many positive comments about them and will definitely be recommending them to anyone who is looking for a band for an event"

"Nigel and I just wanted to thank you and your band for your brilliant contribution to my party on Saturday evening. You’ve had so many compliments from our guests I can’t begin to tell you. My 89-year-old mum said yesterday she could have listened to you all night. We all had a fabulous time. Thank you once again and hope to see you in action again one day soon. "

"I cannot recommend Brotherhood enough. The band played at our wedding last weekend and as well as being an amazing band, they were also lovely people - which really adds to your party! The music was fab and playing both our first and second dance songs was extra special. We cannot wait to see them again and would recommend them for any wedding or event."

"I saw these guys recently when they played at the Limelight Theatre, Aylesbury. Really ‘pro’ and ‘tight’. They played LOTS of my very favourite numbers, brilliant guitar work and great harmonies too – I loved their attention to detail. Too good to miss – a great night"

"I would definitely recommend They Got The Party to anyone who wants a busy dance floor! They played at our wedding and everyone commented on how great the music was and the fantastic atmosphere. We also requested some of our favourite songs, which they learnt and played on the night - great memories! Thanks again..."

"Wow, just wow!! We had Starbound as our wedding band for the evening. The band were simply amazing. We had an amazing evening and would like to say thank you so much to you and the Lightning Bolts for a great end to our wedding day. They were so polite and raised the roof off. Many guests were surprised and thoroughly enjoyed rocking out in the evening. We have had so many compliments so wanted to pass them on to you and the band. "

"We booked The Blue Suede Shoes as a duo for an early evening slot in our festival style wedding & they didn't disappoint. Ben was very good to deal with from the outset & made us very comfortable in the choice we made. The double bass is superb and the lead singers voice is exceptional - many of the guests commented to me about it. Next time I'll have to see the full band line up! Thanks again for help make wedstock a day for us to remember. Krissy & Mike :) "

"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."

"Lucy and Jack performed at our ceremony, wedding breakfast and party. They kept us going ALL day and well into the night and every step of it was absolute perfection. "

"We booked Party Gangsters for a 70th Birthday and they went down an absolute treat. A well thought through range of 60s,70s,80s and 90s music really well delivered with great sounds and harmonies. They were so well received that the wedding in the other function room gate-crashed our dance floor. I will book them again without hesitation.  "
