"Booked the band for my 40th birthday party. They made contact with me before the event to discuss the music I liked and sent me playlist examples. On the evening they were perfect, played a good mix and had everyone dancing. Would recommend"

"I wanted something different from our usual 'Dinner Dance' format for St Patrick's Night and 106 Miles to Chicago certainly didn't disappoint. From the first song to the last, Andy & Chris really got the place rocking. The dance-floor was packed all night and the feedback I've received from members has been universally positive. Great Night, great guys! If you're looking for a fun band for your function, look no further!"

"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."

"Just a quick note to say a massive thank you to you and your mate for performing at my 50th recently. I thoroughly enjoyed it and all my friends and family have commented on how good your music was for the evening. The range you played was superb , catering for all ages from my own kids through to the grandparents. I always think you can judge on a bands success by the amount of people you get up dancing and I think you pretty much got the whole crowd up throughout the evening."
