Cartoon Kings is highly recommended

"Alive Network were very efficient and Rebecca was very very helpful.
The Cartoon Kings far exceeded our every expectation. I would have them play live for us every weekend if we could afford it! They helped make our wedding the best day of our lives, thank you Mat Dale and the remainder of the Kings!

Cartoon Kings's Biography

Line up: 5 Piece Standard - guitar/lead male vocal, bass, drums, female vocal/precussion + Piano

4 piece - as above minus Piano/keyboard

3 piece- guitar/lead male vocal, bass, drums


The Cartoon Kings
The Cartoon Kings perform mainly in the Midlands area and like most bands offer a large selection of songs by original artists. However The Kings also offer the choice of either electric or acoustic shows making them ideal for ANY private function festival or corporate event. They can cater for weddings parties special occasions; Oozing with personality and style the Cartoon Kings can supply whatever you’re looking for!

Each band member has many years of experience at playing live so you can expect a professional show with up to 2 hours of live music which still maintains a raw energetic feeling. The band has the flexibility of male and female vocals plus an additional piano player subject to availability. They can provide a three piece line up if needed for smaller venues. The Kings will play music via a laptop between sets which is included in the price! Or provide a separate DJ for an extra fee.

The Cartoon Kings' repertoire ranges from Oasis to Kylie U2 to The Beatles. There is a wide and versatile selection in the rock/pop genre as well as guaranteed 'dance-floor' classics like Make Me Smile I’m a Believer and Brown-Eyed Girl with up to date music from artists such as Kaiser Chiefs Snow Patrol Fratellis and Amy Winehouse completing the play list.

Based around a 5-piece line-up the band are
Mat Dale (vocals/guitar)
Rich Morgan (bass)
Wes Fife (drums)
Becky Corneby (vocals)
Ken Hughes (piano).

If you need a good-time Rock ‘n’ Roll band that’s not just 'going through the motions' then look no further than “The Cartoon Kings”!!!

Venue Review
The Cartoon Kings have been one of the resident bands at Swan Live since it began four years ago they are very professional and a great set of guys to work with. With both Becky and Matt contributing to lead vocals you are ensured a well rounded sound and varied set list. The crowd that turn out every time we book the Kings get a set of party tracks and are always entertained with a few modern surprises from the likes of The Fratellis Duffy Amy Winehouse and The Killers. I have since recommended the Cartoon Kings to lots of friends and family for parties or weddings and they never disappoint….the Kings rule!
- Ben Sutcliffe The Swan Hotel Stafford July 2008

"We were so pleased with the Cartoon Kings, they definitely made the evening. So many of our friends have said that they thought they were brilliant!

The band arrived early to set up well before the party started,and as the weather was so good we were actualy out in the garden until 9pm, so they even had time to watch the first England world cup match!

There was not a single moment when the dance floor was not full, all ages were delighted with the music and as this was a 50th birthday and a 21st birthday we had a mix of ages.

Matt and his band were extremely friendly and it was lovely to have met them all. Becky on vocals was fantastic, her Florence and the Machine song brilliant!!

All in all we would highly recommmend the Cartoon Kings, a great night !

Lots of people have asked where we found them and I have been telling them about Alive Network.

There is nothing that we would change, and felt it was beyond the call of duty to even have Matt ring us from Heathrow as he was going on his honeymoon, to tell us that all was arranged and they would be here on the night!!

Thanks to all concerned for a fantastic night!

"Wow. The band were just fantastic. All of our family and friends were on their feet, even the grannies! A great atmosphere with a great selection of hits from the last 20 years.

All of the band were teriffic in building a quick rapour with both me and my new wife! I can honestly guarantee that although it was the real top of our budget I would have them again in the blink of an eye!

Alive network also provided a very efficent service and were always on the end of the phone to answer any questions! The band were excellent value for money and great people to meet! I know that the website puts loads of this kind of review up, but honestly they really amazed me and i dont even get excited by bands normally!

"We booked the Cartoon Kings for our wedding on the 29th August 2009 after seeing them perform a live show at the Swan in Stafford. They arrived promptly and set up at the reception with minimal disturbance. Once they began performing they kept people on the dance floor all night long, with many of our guests asking how we found them and commenting on how great they were and what a brilliant night they made of our reception.

In between sets all members of the band were more than happy to socialise with our guests, I can only apologise to them for the "snow white" incident! I'd be grateful if you could pass on both my and my wife's gratitude, they helped make the whole evening as sucessful as it was. Absolutely worth every penny and I will certainly recommend them to anyone who needs a band for any kind of function!
