"The Sparks were fantastic, their playlist fitted exactly with the audience, there was something for everyone. The sound for a 3 piece band was excellent. I’d have no hesitation in using them for future events and would definitely recommend them.
Booking through Alive Network was very simple and straightforward.

"Book The Sparks via Alive Network - the band is awesome, particularly if you like classic tunes like Guns & Roses, Bon Jovi, Brian Adams etc, they do modern song as well. They have two excellent singers who have different ranges to give great variety and both guitar players (singers) are awesome - brilliant skills! The drummer is excellent too!
Alive Network are really helpful, super organised and gave me great confidence in my booking. Prior to the Wedding day I spoke with the band who where also really helpful and understanding, giving us set list options - which was so good and again gave me every confidence that everything would go perfectly.
Would highly recommend both The Sparks and Alive Networks - Thanks to you both for brilliant evening!

"The band were exceptional, impressive song list that has a tune for most generations to get up and join in! Great set-up, look good (the drummer had a particular admirer I understand) and the two sets that they played were banging!
It was a seamless booking from enquiry right through the last song The Sparks played."
