"The service provided by Alive Network was great - no fuss, simple and easy and all my queries were answered. We asked for a pianist to provide background music and that's exactly what we got.
Jamie was excellent, his playing was superb and he was polite and discrete and his presence added to the atmosphere of our event. We were extremely pleased with our choice of Agency and Musician and would use Alive Network again if appropriate.

"Clare was extremely helpful throughout the booking process and was very proactive in assisting me with chosing the right act for the night.
In spite of very short notice, Jamie still managed to call in advance to learn more about what we wanted from the evening. He arrived in plenty of time and did a fantastic job.
All the guests at the party commented on his performance and were extremely impressed by the range and versatility he displayed in his choice of music. All in all, we'd recommend Jamie in a heartbeat!

"Alive Network was very helpful and dealt with my booking promptly and efficiently.
Jamie contacted me as I was told he would and liaised about the playlist. He was very accommodating and clearly has a massive repertoire. He arrived in good time, was very smartly dressed and professional. He played throughout the evening and everyone enjoyed his performance.
Jamie was the perfect entertainer for our party. Guests who had not seen each other for years were able to talk to each other whilst listening to delightful background music. Other guests just sat and enjoyed listening to Jamie. I was delighted with my booking; thanks to all concerned."

He relaxed the atmosphere during the initial meet and greet and encouraged the individuals to mix well. Guests were happy to sit and listen or to chat to each other. This is a difficult balance to achieve.
