The Basie Millers' Reviews

5 out of 5

I booked the Basie Millers for my monthly live music show to play as people were arriving and to play at the end to get everyone dancing. We literally couldn’t clear the chairs quick enough with the stampede of people wanting to dance as soon as they started playing! Such a brilliant band that my crowd couldn’t get enough of. I can’t wait to get them back again!

5 out of 5

The Basie Millers are THE best party band around! I’ve hired them for our work Christmas party for the past 3 years and they always fill the dance floor with their set of absolute party anthems! Seriously talented musicians and a fab night guaranteed!

Customer questions

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We do have pre-audititioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a professional band our reputation means everything so you can be confident that all of our players are of a very high level.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £150

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. We can set up earlier in the day if required for a small extra charge.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.
