Photo of Jaywhitesax Jaywhitesax "Absolutely blown away by @jaywhitesax tonight! Amazing music as always! Will 100% be having him back again soon! Thanks Jay! Awesome set?❤️" Based in South Benfleet, England (13 miles from Chelmsford) Fattysbar20 - Bar/restaurant Photo of The Elevators The Elevators "Rating 6/6 : Brilliant Amazing band!! Definitely the best! The Hollybush, Loughton on Saturday 7 October 2023 Best band I've seen in years!! They have an eclectic mix of songs that most bands won't touch because of their musical complexity. They blew the roof off the pub, hope to see them there again and again 👍 Anthony Sharp, Monday 9 October 2023 Reply from The Elevators: Thanks Anthony for the great review. We really enjoyed playing at the Hollybush such a great crowd, we hope to be back next year sometime." Based in Epping, England (16 miles from Chelmsford) Anthony sharp Photo of Bel Canto Vintage Sisters Bel Canto Vintage Sisters "Performing aboard paddle steamer Waverley is always a challenging experience and requires artists of great skill and initiative to grapple with the small performance space and access limitations. The Bel Canto Vintage Sisters proved perfect for our 1940's themed cruises, entertaining our passengers with a great range of wartime and big band standards, with frequent changes of costumes and great audience interaction. A delightful trio of ladies who were more than happy to change set lists and performance times throughout the day according to the needs of the ship. Their day with us ended in passengers dancing and joining in a full throated sing- a - long to much acclaim. One of the most entertaining and versatile groups I have used in 40 years of running cruises, we have received strong positive feedback from our passengers, and will be booking Angie and her trio again in 2025 for another 40s themed cruises. I recommend this group for any occasion, cruise or function. You will not be disappointed!. Tim Wardley. Waverley Excursions Thames Liaison Officer." Based in Colchester, England (21 miles from Chelmsford) Tim Wardley - Waverly Excursions Photo of Tizane Tizane "I loved watching Tizane, they definitely picked up a new fan. They had the entire audience in the palm of their hand. The diverse original songs they played ranged from emotional and heartfelt, having the audience almost in tears, to upbeat and fun, leaving the room dancing, especially during their song 'Why Not Me'. I loved their song 'Running', it begun completely fragile and beautiful, but each chorus revealed that angsty, pop punk sound." Based in Dartford, England (23 miles from Chelmsford) Ellie Miller - Camden Assembly Photo of Liam Edward Golder Liam Edward Golder ""I listened to it (song Don't Let Go) and I really like it ; the sound quality is impeccable and the voice is magnificent you are truly very talented"." Based in London, England (30 miles from Chelmsford) 16th July 2026 Wu-Tang Clan Singer/Songwriter (Confidential) - Collaborated with Soloman Childs - Recording/Songwriting Photo of L'Esprit du Jazz L'Esprit du Jazz "“L’Esprit du Jazz, accordionist Karen Street’s quartet in a pleasing set of tightly arranged swing and jazz. The music ranged from Galliano musette tunes to Scottish folk style and a smoky rendition of The Way You Look Tonight from bass-playing vocalist Charlie Pyne.” Bath Festival" Based in London, England (30 miles from Chelmsford) 26th March 2026 Knod Knowles - Bath Festival

Most easy listening bands perform for two to three hours, often in longer sets with fewer breaks than louder acts. The relaxed nature of easy listening music suits continuous background performance during meals and receptions. It is worth discussing the event schedule with the band when requesting a quote.

Most easy listening bands are smaller ensembles (duos, trios or small bands) that need relatively little performance space. This makes them well suited to venues with limited room for entertainment. It is a good idea to confirm space needs with the band based on the venue layout.
