"Gypsy Rogues would be excellent entertainment for any party, they are extremely talented and very friendly and accommodating. We had so many positive comments about them from our guests and they made our wedding day even more perfect than it already was. Alive Network were friendly, professional and extremely helpful. Thank you so much.
Many thanks and I will recommend Alive Network to anyone looking for a band. And lastly thank you Graham for being so helpful in the booking process and for the excellent communication up to our special day - the amount of communication is perfect - it is just enough to stop us worrying without being overfacing at such a busy time.
Gypsy Rogues was formed in the early part of 1997 when some of the Midland’s most versatile musicians joined together in what at the time was a modest project with ‘fun’ as its main purpose.
Described in one newspaper as ‘raw endlessly energetic Irish folk’ this 4-piece band produces a huge variety of tunes and songs both modern and traditional that satisfies the widest spectrum of audience. So whether you want them to play at a wedding an Irish function or at your local bar Gypsy Rogues' musical versatility enables them to suit any occasion and with over ten years of entertaining through music they can be relied upon for an event of the highest calibre.
In just three years Gypsy Rogues has gone from being four separate musicians to producing their own CD "A Fuller Picture" which sold out in advance sales before a note was even heard thanks to their ever-growing army of supporters. They have sold out theatres in self-produced Irish shows complete with dancers. They have headlined at the prestigious Bromsgrove Folk Festival and have appeared on the bill at a number of others. They performed for around 2000 people on Millennium night in London and they have appeared for an estimated audience of 5000 for a music festival in Birmingham’s Cannon Hill Park.
Here are some of Gypsy Rogues' numerous highlights of the last 3 years
July 1999 - Headline act Bromsgrove Folk Festival October 1999 - 2 sold out nights with Irish dancers in Liverpool & Worcester December 2000 - 2000 people Millenium gig in London June 2001 - 7500 (est.) people festival in B’ham’s Cannon Hill Park March 2002 - Support for ‘The Fureys’ at Birmingham Irish Centre July 2002 - Headline act at Bromsgrove Folk Festival August 2002 - Finale act at Burntwood Folk Festival

"Alive Network were quick to respond, thorough, professional and good value for money.
I would definitely use them again and in fact go out my way to search for artists future events and recommend the company to others.
Gypsy Rogues put in an energetic, enthusiastic performance and kept our guests at the event well past the intended finishing time. Well recommended once again.

"Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for your email. Sorry its taken me a while to email back its been pretty hectic since getting back from honeymoon and getting back to work. I didn't realise there would be so much to do once we were home. Our wedding was fantastic and the day went so quick!
Rebecca, what can I say about Gypsy Rogues apart from WOW!!! They were absolutely fantastic and both Paul and I loved them. They arrived on time, were really nice and were settled into a room in the hotel okay. They got our guests up dancing from the moment they hit the stage and I don't think there was a time when the dance floor was empty. They even let some of our friends take to the stage with some of them singing - brilliant! Honestly I was so excited and they certainly didn't disappoint us. Please, please pass on our greatest thanks to Dave and the band. Gypsy Rogues made our wedding day even more special and we will never forget them!
I will certainly be recommending yourself and Gypsy Rogues should anyone be looking for a band for any kind of event. Alive Network and especially yourself were fantastic to work with and you made everything so easy for us whilst we were planning our wedding.
So thank you once again and if we ever need a band again, I'll be in touch!!
Take care
Sarah
