Photo of Jazz Bands Düsseldorf—Jazz Central Agency Jazz Bands Düsseldorf—Jazz Central Agency "Very satisfied The performance on Thursday was very enjoyable! Our guests thought so as well. In short, we are very satisfied, also with the booking process." Based in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia (19 miles from Essen) 3rd December 2025 Joyce Wagter, Verdonck, Klooster & Associates - Corporate event Photo of Mama's Bad Boys Mama's Bad Boys "Funky band, playing the blues with heart and soul. The top of Amsterdam music scene." Based in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands (110 miles from Essen) Bas Vossen - Raoulmusic Photo of Niveau Chapeau Niveau Chapeau "Dries and his sons played at my wedding this weekend and were absolutely amazing! They brought a great atmosphere to the dinner time with calmer music and got people dancing afterwards! Would totally recommend them." Based in Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium (114 miles from Essen) A & Z - Wedding Photo of Vento do Sul/ Tribute to Chet Baker Vento do Sul/ Tribute to Chet Baker "They sound amazing. We enjoyed our time listening to their beautiful music. They played beautifull Bossa novas from Carlos Jobim." Based in Brussels, Brussels Capital, Belgium (123 miles from Essen) Flora McRitchie - Private dinner Photo of The Boogiemen The Boogiemen "We loved the band and our guests were very impressed by the music. I can definitely recommend them to anyone looking for music for their next party." Translated from German Based in Hamburg (193 miles from Essen) Verena Herbst - Privat Party Photo of Biker Band Biker Band "The Kings’ regulars are probably the luckiest people in Lincolnshire, maybe even the East Midlands! Not only do they have fabulous hosts in Richard and Sharon, they also provide the best music free of charge every weekend and they don’t come much better than the Bikers Band wherever you may go. Quiet and staid does not exist in their vocabulary, Mister-Pink is power funk, rock and blues at its very best covering the likes of Cream, Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones but also mixing in their own songs in a seamless blend of quality entertainment. I asked Simon for his set list after the gig and do you know what the response was? “What set list? We just play what the audience like!” Believe me there are not many bands that can make such a confident statement. How many encores did we have? I lost count, the holiday weekend busy bar wanted more so The Bikers Band duly provided. Of course we must not forget the superb bass playing of Jules and Balding Bloke was in his element sound engineering when the drummer let rip with a storming drum solo. I don’t know what they feed them on in Norfolk however it seems to be an excellent diet for drummers! Now here’s a teaser for you…whilst we were clearing up afterwards I happened to mention that he’d forgotten to use his harmonica. That was it, straight to his kit and “Not Fade Away” commenced, The bassist struck up his acoustic guitar and the remaining customers and bar staff all immediately broke into song…Most likely we won’t see these guys again until next year, that’s going to be an awful long wait for many of us! ~ gig reviewer - Lincolnshire Press" Based in Norwich, England, United Kingdom (256 miles from Essen) John Blading - Music Venue

Blues performances often feature extended improvisations and guest solos, so set lengths can vary depending on the style and line-up of the band. It is advisable to discuss the preferred format when making an enquiry.
