"The Live Wires sounded great, had a fantastic set list chosen just for us according to our taste and they kept the dancefloor filled until it closed at midnight - they even learnt a speech from Back to the Future just to give us a special moment.
I really can't fault them and would book them again in a heartbeat!

"I wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding on Saturday. The band was fantastic, both sets were brilliant. They kept the dance floor full all night and their song choices were fantastically well judged.
All our guests commented how good the band was and created such a great atmosphere at the reception.
The quality of every song they played was first class, these lads really are one the best live bands we have ever seen. Also they where all professional, polite, friendly and punctual. They really helped to make our wedding such special day.
5 stars lads without a doubt!!!

"Just a quick note to thank you for playing at my 50th bash last night at the Post House.
It was an excellent set, expertly judged and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone there. Without exception the guests have all been asking about you guys – “Where did you find that band? They were brilliant.” I agree, really great night all round and you guys absolutely made it. Pretty Vacant was a top way to end the night. I look forward to seeing you again sometime.
Thanks again for a fantastic night. Please pass on my regards to the rest of the band and thank them all for a memorable time.

"An excellent booking system coupled with very professional staff and musicians made Alive Network a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend them to my colleagues and friends and the band Live Wires were as fantastic as we remembered. Most of our 260 Wedding guests were up dancing and commented how good they were."

"Live Wires were simply superb! We booked them to play at our wedding and they did not disappoint. They provided really cool, chilled out acoustic sets during our drinks reception which really enhanced an already celebratory mood.
They were soooo polite and such nice guys. My new wife and I spoke to them several times during the day and night and they were just great. They seemed genuinely happy to be there which personalised it for us as it didn't feel like they were just dong their job.
Their evening set was amazing. Such a wide range of songs were played all of which got the party going and our guest literally clapped them off stage at the end. Loads of our friends and family asked who they were. One guest knew who they were as soon as she saw them as she's seen them at at least two other weddings and she was mega excited when she realised they were our entertainment - that tells you everything.
I must also mention Clare at Alive Network who was organised and professional throughout the booking and provided the reassurance we needed when making a booking of this type over the Internet. Overall, if I ever needed to impress guests of any sort again in the future I would definitely book Live Wires, I wouldn't even look around elsewhere!"

"Hi Matt/John/Jonny and Pete,
Thank you so much for playing at our wedding you were first class, I've seem some bands in my time but you guys were brilliant.
I can never thank you enough for allowing me to play with you on the night and you covered my mistakes brilliantly, that was a life time wish fulfilled. You really made our wedding party with your good nature and great music, you were all so friendly and helpful if we ever have a live band again we will not look further than you guys.
I have given quite a few people your name and I hope something comes of it for you.
If you'd like us to write a review for the website please let us know and we'd be more than happy to do it.
Thanks again
