Academy were absolutely superb.

5 stars - Academy are Highly Recommended
booked Academy for their Wedding in London

“From initial enquiry to the band striking their first note at our wedding we were really happy with the service, communication and personality of Alive Network. The band were absolutely superb, my guests danced to the very first song and everything in between until they had to end. I was impressed with their image, quality and just the personality and friendliness of the band members. However what really edged it for us was their playlist. They have a great repertoire and they do them all excellently. THANK YOU, we had an amazing wedding and Academy were a big part of that!”

booked Academy for their Wedding in Kent

“The process of finding and booking the band with Alive Network was simple and efficient. The efficiency of the administration was reassuring and gave confidence. Academy communicated with us very well ahead of the event to make sure our requirements were met. They were good to do business with but most importantly they were excellent musically. They played a great assortment of songs that hit the mark perfectly….. and they didn’t clockwatch at the end, doing 3 encores! All in all, highly recommended.”

booked Academy for their event in Lincolnshire

“Hi, I just wanted to send a courtesy e-mail to inform you that I had a fantastic evening last Saturday. The group Academy were amazing. Everyone thought they were super and I found them extremely smart and polite. They had such a good repertoire and the dance floor was full all night. They even had to endure some of the guests dancing a Scottish jig to "Sweet Child of Mine" by Guns 'n' Roses - I think that could be a first! Anyway thanks again and wish Academy every success. ”

“Dear Academy Thanks so much for an awesome set on Saturday night. I’ve had many people complement the band and your choice of music, I think you got it spot on. It was good to see you guys embrace the fancy dress! Hope the journey back to London wasn’t too painful. Thanks Rebecca, I just wanted to let you know the band were great and worth every penny, an absolute bargain. Cheers, Tom ”

“Superb! We booked Academy for our wedding based on the excellent music samples and their impressive repertoire, and they certainly delivered. James was very helpful and accommodating in the run-up to the event with song selections, arrangements etc. The performance itself was absolutely first-rate: great energy, singing and musicianship over a wide range of song styles across the decades. We hardly left the dance floor as they rounded off an amazing day and night for us in the best possible style. We loved them, our guests loved them and we'd love to hire them again.”

“Please pass on my heartfelt thanks to Academy on behalf of myself and my family. the boys really were superb on sat and added a huge amount to the event as well as being good sports about encore's and things like that. We've had many people get in touch to say just how great they were. They're a lively, fun, and most importantly decent musical team. They went out of their way to be helpful, we're very relaxed and made the whole process seem effortless. I'd highly recommend Academy to anyone who wants a party.”
