5/5 from 630 reviews
Photo of The Kase Chiefs The Kase Chiefs "5 out of 5 Absolutely 5 stars, the Kase Chiefs were exactly what we we looking for and then some! Great mix of songs and the engagement with our customers was absolutely fantastic. We had all ages joining us and everyone could not stop talking about how much fun they had and how great the band was. We are already looking to rebook for next year! Thank-you so much!" Based in Barnsley, England (85 miles from Durham) Georgia H - Pub event in Bicester Photo of Phil Richards Music Phil Richards Music "Phil played at our wedding 2 days ago at Lincoln Castle. His standard of performance was really excellent, fantastic singer. Phil took the time to learn our first dance song too and played it perfectly. Since it was a such hot day Phil also improvised and moved his kit around so as to play outside for a time (it was getting very warm in our TeePees) which gave a really chilled out and relaxed feel to the day, playing with the beautiful backdrop of Lincoln Castle with guests sitting on hay bails and dancing was special too. A 10/10 service for sure (I think my cousin even tried to book him for their wedding next year too such was his level of performance and friendly persona). Thanks for being part of our special day Phil, we really appreciate it. Samantha & Michael." Based in Hull, England (87 miles from Durham) Michael Doolan - Wedding Photo of NorthWest Wedding & Events Pianist NorthWest Wedding & Events Pianist "Wendy set the tone musical perfectly for our corporate reception. She was enjoyed by everyone. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Wendy.

Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you to anyone. Thanks again" Based in High Peak, England (98 miles from Durham) B Hodgetts - Funeral Photo of Liam Paul Liam Paul "Liam sang at our wedding ceremony on July 2nd 2022 and he was just amazing. His communication before the wedding is great and so relaxed. He sent us clips of what his version of a song would sound like which was so nice of him. His renditions of our favourite songs during our special day meant so much to us. My family commented after the wedding that they’d never walked into a church with such a relaxed and fun atmosphere already set before the ceremony had even started. And that was all down to Liam’s singing and persona during the build up to the ceremony. Would absolutely recommend!" Based in Wilmslow, England (104 miles from Durham) Llinos Tarbucl - Wedding Ceremony 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 (122 miles from Durham) Antigoni A - Hospital Performances

The average cost of hiring easy listening bands is £400, 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.
