Reviews of 1950s Era Musicians & Bands available in Basel

5/5 from 738 reviews
Photo of Victoria July Victoria July "Viktoria was excellent in communication leading up to the event and when she arrived at the venue very professional, friendly and self sufficient in setting up. She performed 2 sets - one in hot sunshine and another in a wine cellar - both were excellent in terms of choice of songs (according to my general wishes), quality of her singing (wonderful voice), quality of her PA equipment and her composure given hot outside conditions and a lively diverse party of people. I would thoroughly recommend booking Viktoria for your event. Bravo!" Based in Lausanne, Canton of Vaud (85 miles from Basel) Shaun Mattingley - Birthday Celebration Photo of Rhine Valley Ramblers Rhine Valley Ramblers "We were so happy that Didi and his band came and played their show. They were easy to work with, had awesome groove and made a good party. We will have them back here soon." Based in Dornbirn, Vorarlberg, Austria (102 miles from Basel) Sabine Koller - Dance Hall Photo of Belle Histoire Belle Histoire "Great wedding performance! It was great to have Belle Histoire performing at our wedding in Lake Como (at Relais Villa Vittoria) in July 2023. We had a great time, our guests had a blast. In addition to her absolutely incredible voice, the lead singer helped us make a couple of guest announcements as well. It was really easy to make arrangements with the band - the performance was exactly what we were hoping for and more. Definitely recommend!" Based in Saronno, Lombardy, Italy (151 miles from Basel) Anastasia I. - wedding party Photo of Jazz Bands Luxembourg —Jazz Central Agency Jazz Bands Luxembourg —Jazz Central Agency "The music created exactly the atmosphere we were looking for—elegant, subtle, and never overpowering. From the booking process to the performance itself, everything was handled professionally and exceeded our expectations."

What a sound these guys have! They are truly exciting and engaging. One of the best Rock 'n' Roll bands from the 50s I've heard so far."
