Photo of Elise Pelo & Nadia Mair Elise Pelo & Nadia Mair "Yuko is a brilliant, charismatic musician. During our collaboration at Dronfield Music Tuition and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals I admired her proactiveness, organisational skills and most importantly her reliability as a team member. She is a very talented pianist and instrumental tutor and her maturity is evident." Based in Heanor, England (8 miles from Derby) Antigoni A - Hospital Performances Photo of Sophia The Singing Harpist Sophia The Singing Harpist "Thank you so much for singing at my mom’s funeral – you were brilliant. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you to anyone. Thanks again" Based in High Peak, England (34 miles from Derby) B Hodgetts - Funeral Photo of Casado - A Classy Saxophone and Guitar Duo Casado - A Classy Saxophone and Guitar Duo "We booked Casado for our wedding on the 14th March 2020 and would highly recommend them. Sharon and Martyn were professional, supportive and made our ceremony very special. From the very beginning, Casado were there to support our ideas, offer suggestions and took away a huge element of stress by liaising directly with the venue which was a great help on the lead up to the day. Casado offer great flexibility with regards to what they can offer, for our ceremony we had solo guitar whilst guests were seated and then violin and guitar duet for the ceremony including music whilst signing the register. Casado are excellent musicians with lots of experience and the feedback from our guests was amazing. Thank you for being part of our special day."

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.
