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 (28 miles from Colchester) 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 (36 miles from Colchester) Anthony sharp 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 (43 miles from Colchester) Ellie Miller - Camden Assembly Photo of Sky High Duo Sky High Duo "You were really good, thank you for providing us with some great acoustic music. So good to see people up dancing. We’ve had some positive comments from our guests."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring easy listening bands is £380, with prices from £120 to £1,300+. Pricing depends on band size, set length and the style of music. Easy listening bands provide relaxed background music suited to corporate events, dinners and receptions, and range from small acoustic line-ups to fuller ensembles.

The easy listening bands for hire perform relaxed, melodic music spanning soft rock, jazz, acoustic pop, classic standards and light instrumental music. The style is designed to create a pleasant, sophisticated atmosphere without overpowering conversation.

Hiring easy listening bands is ideal for drinks receptions, corporate dinners, hotel lobbies, restaurant entertainment, garden parties and any event where background music is preferred over a high-energy performance. The relaxed, melodic style creates an elegant atmosphere without overpowering conversation.

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.
