Jamie and Emma, August 2010

We are just writing to say a massive THANK YOU to you and the band for your performance at our wedding. We both want you to know how brilliant we thought you were – EXACTLY what we had wanted! The dance floor was buzzing! We’ve had lots of comments from the guests too, saying how much they enjoyed your music.

Mike & Vicky, Salisbury.

…The wedding was excellent and thankyou so much again for making it so special. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone and everyone…

Glen & Kelly, Old Basing, Hants.

“Can you please pass on our sincere thanks to the band for their outstanding performance on Saturday at our wedding. Everyone absolutely loved their music – they were good spirited, kind, lovely men and they played fantastically. We had a good boogie and they accommodated all our random requests very gracefully. I hope I get the pleasure of hearing them play again one day!
Kind regards
Kelly” – Kit Packham Quartet for the wedding reception of Glen & Kelly, Old Basing, Hants.

No Name Jive.

…The packed dance floor was busy all night long…

Angela’s vintage theme 30th anniversary party, Brighton

Wow is the word. We had a vintage British seaside themed 30th wedding anniversary party for over 100 guest by Brighton Beach at the iconic BA 1360. Kit Packham and his brilliant band One Jump Ahead were outstanding from start to finish. We’d hired a group of swing dancers who got everybody dancing, regardless of ability! The band played everything we wanted from Glenn Miller to Aint Nobody Here But us Chickens. People just did not stop dancing! the finale New New York number resulted in 100 guests joining hands and all doing the high kicks. To say One Jump Ahead made our party go with a swing would be an understatement. I would also like to thank Kit and the band for their professionalism, time keeping and energy. Kit was so easy to deal with and the arrangements went so smoothly. I could not recommend them more highly. Book One Jump Ahead if you want your wedding / party to go with a swing!
