One of Dorset's top function bands! Well known and much loved songs from the 60s to the present - particularly well known for their 80s material.
Chill are a three piece covers band based in Dorset. Paul Graham is the lead singer, lead guitarist & synth programmer, Steve Peck is the bassist and backing singer, Nick Harper is the drummer and backing singer. Chill have been together for over 18 years and have played well over 1800 gigs up and down the country, most often in Dorset, Devon, Hampshire and Somerset. As well as countless parties, these have also included regular appearances at some of the biggest festivals in the area. All three members of the band have performed with national touring tribute acts including the highly acclaimed "And Finally...Phil Collins", "UK Pink Floyd" and the Sting & The Police tribute "Synchronicity UK". So all three have a wealth of experience and as a band they are professional, polished and accomplished musicians. Chill provide as standard a professional PA system, programmed lighting and assorted mp3 music for the intervals (which can be tailored to our clients tastes). As standard Chill perform up to three sets (2.5 hours) of live music. Chill have public liability insurance and their equipment is regularly PAT tested.
As standard, the band will arrive at 6pm. It takes approximately 1 hour to unload and setup the equipment, which the band will do as quickly and quietly as possible. Mp3 music will then be available from 7pm. As standard, the band will play three sets - timings can vary and the band is happy to be as flexible as required. An example of timings might be ..... 8pm - 8:45pm, 9:30 - 10:15pm, 11:00pm - midnight, with mp3 music during the intervals. As standard the finish time is midnight, after which it takes appoximately 1 hour to pack down and reload the equipment. Musically, the band perform a well rehearsed range of material from a host of well known bands and artists. These include (not in any particular order) Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, The Kinks, R.E.M., Billy Idol, Gary Moore, Status Quo, Blondie, Elvis Costello, Nik Kershaw, Glenn Frey, Gary Numan, Madness, The Jam, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, The Vapors, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, The Cult, Simple Minds, James, The Proclaimers, The Rolling Stones, Snow Patrol, Green Day, Tears For Fears, and many more.
1 hour
Ideally the band require a minimum of 15' x 7' space, and a minimum of two easily accessible standard mains sockets.
The band pride themselves on having a well rehearsed, polished set, which helps keep gaps in music to a minimum, and therefore people on the dance floor for longer. They will take requests in advance, with a minimum of 1 month's notice, but will not attempt to "jam" a request on the night.

Johnston Wedding
Hi Paul Many thanks to you and the rest of the band for performing at our wedding a couple of weeks ago, we loved the performance and everyone has told us what a great time they had and how good you guys were. Obviously it all got a bit messy at the end, apologies for that and for the Jerusalem rendition! (not sure why that came about). Alex and I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending you for other functions and we both wish you all the best for the future. Hopefully we will get to see you again and will look out for you at other gigs. All the best James and AlexPunctuality
