"Professional and accommodating and a good party band suitable for a wide age range of guests. The dance floor was always busy which was a testament to them pitching the playlist at the right level for the audience."
Line up:Standard line up: Solo vocalist with high quality backing tracks.
* Optional duo to 12 piece big band also available (please see booking options).
With swing music literally coursing through his veins (Russell is the son of an ex B.B.C. big band recording artist) he grew up with the sounds of Frank Sinatra Dean Martin Tony Bennett and Nat King Cole filling the air and so it came as no surprise that he followed in his father's footsteps and he has carved out a successful career performing across the UK and Europe.
With clients such as Ferrari Bentley and Jaguar amongst many other blue chip companies having him perform at corporate events along with private parties for David Beckham and many other celebrities his talent has remained in great demand.
Russell was also chosen to sing at the wedding of England and Manchester Utd footballer Wes Brown and his performance was highlighted in OK Magazine.
Recent television appearances including the hit reality show "four weddings" along with guest artist slots on Granada daytime TV have raised Russell’s profile even higher making him one of the most sought after performers around.
As well as remaining faithful to the ‘crooners’ of the past Russell’s repertoire includes many songs from the Robbie Williams swing album and also new tracks performed by Michael Buble such as Home Everything Lost Haven't Met You Yet and Hold on.
Available with live musicians from a duo to 12 piece big bands or big band backing tracks.
After 15 years in the business Russell’s professional approach is second to none!

"Dear Clare,
Thanks so much for your best wishes. Fantastic day despite the weather.
Russell was simply brilliant. His voice is excellent and he really knew when to be central to the action and when to be a little further in the background. Several of our guests couldn't believe he was actually singing as he has a record-quality voice. Please add our endorsement to the ones already on his web page (its little wonder there are so many) - message for everyone reading, don't hesitate - just book him!
Regards,
Jason and Claire."

"Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for your message. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, we've only just returned from our honeymoon and I'm still coming to terms with being cold!
Russell was absolutely fantastic, such a gent and everyone commented on how fab he was. He sang beautifully, the only thing we both wish is that we had had an opportunity to thank him personally and to have been able to sit and listen to him properly. (in fact someone actually thought it was a CD playing his voice is so faultless!!)
Our photographer took some fab shots of him so if you like, once we get the photos through, I can send you the jpeg for you to pass onto Russell.
Thanks again
Katie

"Dear Paul,
Thanks so much for everything! Russell Shaun was amazing!!! He learnt a new song and changed it to a slower tempo for our first dance and accommodated our requests for father-daughter and mother-son dances. He arrived and set up with the minimum of fuss and was such a good judge of the mood of the crowd.
I received so many compliments about his singing and the style of the music. Russell even realized some of my friends were looking for faster dance numbers and spent part of his set spinning tracks for them! He definitely had a fan club by the end of the night!
I would be most grateful if you could let him know that he did a fantastic job! He really gave us such a memorable evening to cap off a wonderful day! My friends stayed till the end of the evening on the dance floor despite the fact it was a Sunday night!
I would also like to thank you for all your hard work. From the moment we surfed the website to our pre-wedding check, we have felt well looked after! Thanks so much! We would definitely use Alive Network again.
Best wishes
Nicole and Tjun"

"Hello Rebecca
My party was fabulous!
Russell Shaun was really brilliant, I don't think he could've been any better!
Everyone thought he was fab. I didn't want the night to end.
Russels voice is even better live than on the CD.
Does he have an actual CD, not a demo then I can re-live my party any time I like.
Thank you so much for all your help Rebecca, I would recommend you to anyone and everyone.
Take care and the next time we have a party we'll give you a call.
Love Kim
