Richmond is highly recommended

"Booking Richmond for my 50th Birthday Party was the best decision I made, they made the night extra special.

Their singing performance was fantastic catering for all age groups, their set was professional and tasteful and they were both really nice and approachable. I heard nothing but praise for them from my guests during and since the evening.

They exceeded my expectations and provided fantastic professional entertainment all evening and I would not hesitate to book them again. "

Richmond
Richmond is Steve Giles and Chris Johnson. They have extensive performing experience and have spent many years perfecting their craft through a variety of projects including a disco harmony quartet a pop/soul choir and a variety of acoustic and fully live outfits. Both of the guys are also certified teachers and lobbyists for legendary vocal technique Speech Level Singing which only further embellishes their already outstanding performance credentials.

Everything before now has certainly contributed to a polished act from two incredible male vocalists based around Soul Motown RnB Funk and a peppering of swing for those more prestigious occasions. Some pop has also been know to creep in to the set when required…

Together with their previous ventures they have performed leads in the bright lights of London’s West End at theatres such as The London Palladium and the Strand Theatre and have been half way across the world to destinations such as Dubai. They have even performed in the presence of Prince Charles at the wonderfully regal St James Palace at a start-studded bash in aid of war veterans.

As Richmond Soul they won a singing contest to win the opportunity to support Britain’s premiere soul singer ‘Lemar’ close to their hometown in Southampton. They have also had the privilege of supporting 70’s Disco outfit Heatwave Alexander O’Neal and The Drifters as part of a live music initiative around the South. In between ‘mixing it up’ with the Stars Richmond Soul regularly perform at bars clubs music venues and functions to party-goers who always come away buzzing. However their stylish but approachable demeanour and slick mix of music will perfectly compliment your corporate event dinner or wedding.

Either way it is clear to see that Richmond Soul are at the forefront of their genre and are constantly rejuvenating their audiences with their dynamic and original style.

"I booked Richmond for my daughters wedding on the 15th May 2010, they arrived with a lovely smile and we never stopped smiling all night. They were very polite professional all through the night, everyone had a fantastic time, lots of dancing, they are such a great couple of lads, entertained us all, would recommend them very highly.

Didn't want the night to end. Friends the next day called to say what a great evening they had, music was excellent.

Thanks Chris and Steve for making my daughters wedding a great day!

"Many thanks to Gemma for making the booking process so simple. Anybody who had any doubts about using Alive Network should rest assured. Even last minute changes to our request were carried out very easily. Many, many thanks for your professional, friendly service.

Richmond were simply fantastic from start to finish. They were extremely polite, friendly and enthusiastic. That is in addition to being great singers, obviously. They worked so hard all night to keep the guests entertained.

I could not fault any part of Richmond's performance at all and would book them in an instant for future events. Worth every penny of their fee.

Many thanks guys and wishing you every success in the future!

"Hi Graham,

Thank you for your email. We had a fantastic day thankyou.

As for the evening entertainment 'Richmond'- where do I start! The boys were great, I knew they would be good from having listened to their demo on the Alivenetwork site, however, they were much more than good, they were fantastic! We wanted to increase the tempo from the string quartet that we had for the afternoon reception and Richmond certainly did just that. Their repetoire touched each and everyone and the feedback from our guests told us we did the right thing by bringing in Richmond. You were great guys - don't ever give it up! I'm sure we will be seeing much more of you.

Graham, I am also pleased with the organisation of hiring this entertainment from Alivenetwork - efficient and not complex. I am happy for you to use my feedback on the website.

Thanks to everyone involved!

Regards
Jackie"

"Hi Seth,

Hope you're well and had a great weekend. Saturday went brilliantly and the entertainment was fab!

"Richmond were fantastic, a real asset to my client's wedding. They sounded fabulous and the bride and groom were ecstatic with their performance. Chris and Steve were the perfect professionals, arriving on time and understanding how important it was that we kept on time and to schedule. They created a great atmosphere and no doubt guests will be talking about them for weeks to come. The perfect solution if you're tight on floor space or have a limited budget for live entertainment."

Thanks so much for all your help beforehand!! Thanks for being so patient as we searched for the best solution for Sarah and Rob. Will no doubt be in touch soon.

Best wishes,

Zoë x"
