"Graham was always quick to respond and took all my questions seriously.
Class Of 87 were excellent all night. Easy to deal with before the event and absolutely brilliant on stage."
Line up: Trio: lead guitar/vocals/ programming (synths/samplers), bass/vocals, drums, 8 track hard disk,
So everybody had bad hair everything was lumious and big fringes were in! But the 80's was a decade of great tunes and Class of '87 bring you the biggest fattest coolest tracks of the era.
With a passion for synths and all things electric Class of '87 are able to take on the more challenging songs of the 80's using loops synths and samples alongside drums guitar and bass.
Malcolm, Richard and Darren have years of experience which forms a trio of top professionals all with an impresive musical history.

"The band were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They played all the songs I love and there were people dancing all night. The band were incredibly friendly and professional, adjusting their sets to suit out timings on the day and providing some DJ sessions in between their playing. So many of our guests have commented about how good they were and what a great sound they produced - some said they hadn't realised they were a live band as they sounded so much like the original artists. The Alive Network kept me up-to-date and made sure I knew what was going on. I would recommend the band to anyone organising a wedding or party - they're bound to get everyone up and dancing and will provide exactly the right positive, fun atmosphere for any event.

"Hi Guys,
Nikki & I just wanted to say a BIG thank you for making our evening so special.
As I'm sure you realised yourselves, the evening was a great success & the plaudits have been non stop since Saturday extolling your virtues.
Many (myself included) have not heard a tribute band as good & we've seen too many to mention!
Once again guys, many thanks - it was a pleasure to listen & dance & sing along to so many hits.
Kindest regards,
Mike & Nikki"

"Class of '87 are a talented and well organised band. They enhanced our wedding reception playing music that all our guests enjoyed and danced to. We have since received many compliments from our guests saying how much they enjoyed the class of '87. They also have a DJ option with a vast array of music tracks. Overall an excellent and entertaining band that we would not hesitate to recommend or book again through the Alive Network.

15/09/2009 Class of 87
"Class of 87 are consummate professionals. We hardly knew they were there until they began to play, but at that point the dancefloor was full from the start of their set to the end. We offered them a list of our favourite tracks on their playlist, and they based their choices very much on what we'd asked for, without sticking slavishly to the list, which we didn't want. I would recommend them to anyone. The sound balance was perfect, no-one complained about it being too loud, not even the oldies, and the performance was just amazingly polished, even when we requested a song that wasn't on their playlist for our first dance. Thank you so much Class of 87, we will definitely have you back if we need a live band in the future, you were fantastic and made our day.

"Seth,
Had intended to drop you a line.
The band were excellent. Nice guys, turned up on time, brought a very impressive array of equipment and were very professional.
All the guests asked who they were and where I had found them and the overwhelming opinion expressed since the party is that the band were 'brilliant'! Although my version of Rio may not have been the highlight of the night...
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and they are certainly a great advert for AliveNetwork.
Thanks for your help too, you handled the booking and the follow-up very well indeed - many thanks.
Mike"

"Hello Richard
I just thought I would drop you a line to say a big thank you for the entertainment on Sunday which was very well received by all. Everyone commented on how good you were and how professional the whole set up was. I’d also like to thank the singer for loaning his laptop at the last minute so the slideshow could happen.
Once again thanks very much for providing the music that certainly took a lot of people back to their youth!
All the best Richard"

"I just wanted to drop you a line to say a huge, enormous THANK YOU! The music Stage at the Imperial Centenary Party well and truly rocked our client's world. The audience were entertained from the moment the event started until the final screaming finale. Every element worked and 'class of 87' were awesome. I hope that we get the opportunity to work with you again in the future and please ensure your artist receives our heart felt thanks.
Thanks again and best wishes Gemma - Imperial College - London"
