" The Kicks rocked our Wedding! – We were chuffed to bit at how great they sounded looked and performed on the night. The feedback from our guests was incredible and it felt that the band enjoyed being there and it wasn’t ‘just another wedding gig’. If you’re looking for a wedding band that will give you that cheese free credible feel without isolating any of your guests these are the boys for you!” - Paul, Wedding Client

“A lively and enthusiastic group who have immense talent for entertaining a crowd true performers!" - Tracie Belcher Manager Hall & Woodhouse.

“Alive Network's service was impeccable. As for the Kicks awesome. I am getting bored with the number of people who ask me for their details. To quote one of my wife's friends... "when they played "sex on fire" (twice) they were better than Kings of Leon". A brilliant band who made the wedding a serious cut above the usual 4 blokes a drumset and a couple of guitars. To top it all they were also extremely friendly helpful professional and committed to ensuring that every guest had a great night.” -Andrew and Lucy Wedding Client
