Gold: The ultimate function band.
This international party band is made up of the highest quality professional musicians who specialise in performing choice party tracks from the wide ranging genres of Funk; Soul; Motown; Rock; Indie; Pop and Disco. 

Gold has a wealth of experience performing at the very highest profile events including The Labour Party Conference in Bournemouth, the Bolsover Castle annual fireworks display Derbyshire (head line act to eight thousand people), The St Neots Christmas Festival and Lights Switch On (Head line act to five thousand people) and the Perno Ricard weeklong International conference in the south of France.

The versatility of the band means that they are not only ideal for corporate events but also for weddings and civil partnerships, university balls, birthday parties and barmitzfers, awards ceremonies, festivals and concerts. They have also proved to be very popular with the British Military and are engaged by the SAS, RAF and Army on their major events throughout the year.

Gold is led by Matthew Bmus (Hons) who is a former scholarship student of the Royal Academy of Music London. Away from Gold Mathew along with the other members of the band enjoy a varied freelance career working at home and abroad with artists such as Sir Paul McCartney, Corrine Bailey Rae, The Human League, The London Philharmonic Orchestra etc in some of the countries finest concert venues as well as on television, radio and on a number of commercially available recordings.

If you need a band that will have you dancing all night & leave you shouting for more, there can be only one choice…

Gold; The Ultimate Function Band.

Option 1
Gold Party

The six or eight piece band produces a truly fantastic sound and is perfect as the main evening’s entertainment for any event.

The band will perform for up to a total of two hours of live music, with mixed pre recorded music being played through the PA in the intervals of the band’s performances as standard.

Option 2
Gold Jazz

The versatility of the members of Gold means that they are just as experienced performing Jazz Standards, as they are party tracks, and are able to offer the Gold Jazz option.

Dine in style whilst being entertained by the refined sounds of Gold Jazz. The Trio or Quartet is able to cover a full range of cool Jazz Standards which will add sophistication to any event.

Whether it’s a drinks reception or atmospheric music during dining, Gold Jazz are happy to meet your exact requirements in order to ensure that your event is a complete success and enjoyed by all.

Option 3
Gold Jazz & Party Package
In addition to Gold Party for your main evening’s entertainment, why not take advantage of the Gold Jazz package as well. Dine in style whilst being entertained by the refined sounds of Gold Jazz. And then dance the night away whilst being entertained by Gold Party.

The Gold Jazz & Party Package has been specifically created for those clients that wish to book a suite of entertainment but who do not want to have the inconvenience of dealing with an external band and who wish to take advantage of the discounted pricing that can be offered as a result.

OTHER OPTIONS
The Gold Brass Section

The Gold brass section is comprised of tenor saxophone and trumpet. The superb musical arrangement’s really bring out the best in this incredibly tight section and adds another dimension to the sound of the band. Powerful playing with ripping solos are as standard.

PA Options
As standard Gold uses top of the range audio equipment which is installed and operated on each engagement by our very own team. Because the band is fully engineered this ensures the perfect sound mix for each and every event.

The standard vocal rig is ideal for events up to 120 people or small function rooms, allowing competitve prices and excellent value for money.

For larger weddings and events, they can provide a top of the range 4000 watt PA system with engineer which is suitable to perform to a room of anything up to 400 guests. Larger systems are available on request to cater for any size of event.

After gaining entry to the performance area, it takes a total of 90 minutes to be fully set and ready to perform.

Lighting Options
As standard Gold uses the Acme cabaret colour pro light system. This produces 4000 watts of stage lighting via 8 x 500 watt bulbs. The system allows a flood of light of numerous colours or can be programmed to move with the rhythm of the band. The equipment is very compact and so can be used in almost any space.

For larger events, we can supply a popular range of intelligent and generic lighting from manufacturers such as Avolites, Martin Professional, Clay Paky, CCT, and Thomas and complementary special effects such as smoke and haze which can greatly improve the impact of the lighting. Set up time around 120 minutes.

"From my initial enquiry, through the booking process and leading up to our Christmas party for 260 guests, the Alive Network coordinators were excellent and very helpful. Any questions or queries were answered promptly giving me total trust in their service.

Gold lived up to all my expectations and from the minute I heard their practice session I knew they were going to be great. They were very professional, created a really fun atmosphere and had everyone (of all ages) up dancing.

I would definitely hire them again and would highly recommend them.

Kind regards

Gill

"Evening Gold,

Well firstly myself & Hayley (The Wife) would love to say Thanks for an amazing night of music.

I've heard nothing but positive comments on what an amazing band you were. We appreciate you had along way to travel and i hope you enjoyed the night as much as we did.

If you could pass our Thanks onto the rest of the band.
I hope we entertained as well with the first dance, hopefully you hadn't seen anything like it before. Haha.

Thanks again for an amazing night.

"Alive Network provided an excellent service, especially considering I only gave them a few days to organise everything. A very professional service. I wouldn't hesitate to use AN again and would recommend to friends.

Prior to the event Matt got in touch with my daughter and they went through the arrangements, which was very reassuring. Gold lived up to our expectaions. The dance floor was always busy and everybody had a wonderful time. It really was the finishing touch to a lovely wedding celebration."

"Our day was great and every single member of GOLD was extremely polite and helpful. Lots of people said how good the band was and the most touching moment of the evening was at the very end when everyone circled us and danced. This would not have happened if the lady vocalist had not requested it.

Brilliant band!"

"Using the Alive Network made the whole process of choosing and booking a band straightforward. The website has an excellent range of bands in various price ranges and band demo music and video allowed us to make an informed choice.

In addition, the feedback/recommendations from other customers helped us to make our decision with confidence. Alive were extremely professional and kept us updated via telephone and email with the progress of our booking.

We booked Gold for a corporate party and I must say they were absolutely brilliant! They were professional, polite and thoroughly enjoyed by all our guests! Even though we had a small party, 40 people, Gold performed with lots of energy, were really good fun and were fantastic to listen too!

I would highly recommended them to anyone looking to book a band. Their diverse range of classic covers ensured we had music that suited all tastes and all ages!

Thanks to Gold our party was a roaring success and we would most definitely book them again for future events! Well done Gold!

"I wanted to pass on what a fantastic band gold were.

They were extremely professional and despite being pushed for time, they played exceptionally well and kept the danefloor packed from start to finish. We cannot praise them highly enough.

Both vocalists were fabulous and played all the music we wanted. Communication before our wedding was fab, they could not do enough to help make our reception everything we wanted so please pass on our thanks to the whole band."
