Harry Bassett's Reviews

5 out of 5

Having worked with and booked Harry on a number of musical projects and events, I only have the very highest praise for him. Not only is he one of the most accomplished musicians I’ve ever worked with (and I run a band of 48 members!), he is an astute professional with an excellent attitude and strong interpersonal skills. I couldn’t recommend him enough and you will only be “blown” away if you hire him!!

5 out of 5

I’ve worked with Harry both live and in the studio a number of times and I would highly recommend him. He’s a fantastic player with great versatility and arrangement skills and his positive and professional attitude is second to none. 5/5.
