Reviews of Festival Themed Bands based near Basildon

5/5 from 101 reviews
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 (13 miles from Basildon) Ellie Miller - Camden Assembly Photo of Rockbusta Rockbusta "The feedback that I got from all who attended was the band was really entertaining and put on a brilliant evening" Based in Maidstone, England (21 miles from Basildon) Mary Neill - Snodland WMC Photo of HayLee Acoustic Duo HayLee Acoustic Duo "After the success of their performance at our 2023 Christmas Tapas, we were so pleased to be able to book Hayley and Lee for both of this year's evenings. Their performance was brilliant, with the perfect mix of sing-a-long classics and Christmas tunes to get our customers in the festive spirit. They are so lovely to deal with and bring such a wonderful atmosphere with them. The perfect mix of professional, talented, fun and friendly, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend HayLee!
