"I booked the group Jazzman for my Birthday party - The entire process from reviewing the band online & listening to their clips, booking with Sarah & her team and the actual entertainment delivered on the day was second to none. Nik the band leader was courteous and very helpful throughout the day...his singing & the band dynamics were excellent and all of my family & friends had a memorable day. Many thanks to Last Minute Musicians whom I will be using again. Great Job!"

"Thanks very much for such a wonderful performance on Saturday. Without exception everyone has said "and weren't the band fantastic". In fact it may have affected the dancing as many people also said they could have listened all night!!! Some achievement in view of the age ranges. It was very much appreciated and thank you all for making Di's party such a great success. We will certainly have no hesitation in using you again or recommending you to others."

"Since the initial booking Jess was very responsive in answering all our questions and creating a special jazz version of our first dance for our wedding. The band were on time and very courteous especially seeing we were 30 mins overrunning on the speeches. We would not hesitate to recommend Jess and her band to anyone else for any occasion."

"Tzigauners provided a fantastic repertoire of music for our charity fundraiser in July 2018 which was perfect for a classical party setting. Tzigauners were really professional and friendly, and created a fancy atmosphere for our guests as they arrived. We highly recommend booking them."

"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."

"Cellar Magnaval became encore more French this evening. The 20's ambience came to Woking with the voice of sexy Muriele and huge talent of Dominic. All our guests absolutely loved it. Can't wait for the next. A lovely treat post-Valentine. Merci"
