Testimonial (more testimonials at the bottom of this page)
"Hey Guys, blinder of a party on Saturday and Real Talk were not just good, they were absolutely amazing, the place went nuts for them and they really enjoyed themselves as well.
Real Talk are young, good looking, dynamic and cool. They were punctual for set up, polite and well turned out. It was only when they started playing did we realise quite what an exceptional band we had got on our hands and what an incredible night was to come!
Real Talk are the SAS of Soul, the Ninjas of Night Boogie, they put the F into Funk and the P into Party, 120 delighted and costumed guests danced the night away to this incredible band, the musicianship was world class, book this band now, see them up close and feel the force, in a couple of years time they will be playing Wembley Stadium and you will have missed your chance... They were that good, amazing night..." Guy Cresswell - Managing Director: Promuseast Ltd, Kent

"We had arranged for Real Talk to have an introductory 30 minute set before a sit down meal, and their choice of music was perfect!
After our meal they really lifted the whole room with their talent & entertainment. Everyone connected with them, and they sang a whole range of different songs from different artists. They were enjoyed by everyone and the age range of the party was from 18 to 60.
They were fun, very talented and an absolute pleasure to work with.

"Alive Network were very professional and kept me up to date with the booking.
Real Talk - well we couldnt have asked for a better band. The band was fantastic and we have never been to a wedding where everybody is dancing right from the start and all night long. It really did make our wedding special.
Many thanks!"

"We would both like to say a big thank you to all the members of Real Talk who were awesome at our wedding on Saturday.
All our guests we spoke to at our BBQ on Sunday were commenting how brilliant the band had been and how much they'd enjoyed the night. So thanks again for all your efforts tweaking playlists etc.
We hope you were well cared for by our Caterers and Ushers and we'll make sure we recommend you future events with our friends and family.
All the best,
Stuart and Denise

"Thanks Real Talk, my wife and I were blown away by your performance, we
couldn't have asked for more.
We spent a long time listening to bands and having made our decision we weren't disappointed. Lots of our guests commented on how good you were and everyone seemed to enjoy the performance which is exactly what we'd hoped for.
Great interaction, great presentation, great song choices... perfect!
Thanks to Clare at Alive Network too, hassle free choosing, booking and organising.
We've already recommended you both to our friends.
Thanks a million, Neil and Kris ;-)

"Real Talk were absolutely brilliant and I told them this over and over. Every single person at the party (about 80) mentioned how fantastic they were - not only my friends but my daughters friends too (22 and 25 year olds).
Not only were they extremely talented and looked good, they were lovely people too. During their break, I told them my daughters wanted to say a few words, and one of them sing, and they needed the microphone, they were happy to cut short their break so that could happen.
The weather was perfect and after arriving it became too hot inside so everyone went into the garden. The band positioned themselves so they could be seen from outside, and heard perfectly. I, however, danced all night.
