Both Alive Network and Backbeat were brilliant.

5 stars - BackBeat are Highly Recommended
Katherine M booked BackBeat for their wedding at Rowley Manor in East Yorkshire

“Both Alive Network and Backbeat were brilliant. Alive Network made organising a band for my wedding when living the other side of the world seem so simple! They were so efficient and professional – can’t fault them. Backbeat were just amazing, words can’t describe how pleased we were when we heard them play live.

Alive Network made organising a band for my wedding when living the other side of the world seem so simple! They were so efficient and professional – can’t fault them. Backbeat were just amazing, words can’t describe how pleased we were when we heard them play live. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone. They did a fantastic job with our first dance song – it was an unusual request but they learnt it for us and played it exactly the same as the original soundtrack. This is exactly what we needed as we had learnt a dance routine and the first time we performed it with live music was for the actual first dance, so we needed it to be exactly the same, and it was, it was spot on! Everyone had such a great time at the wedding, there was always lots of people on the dance floor. Backbeat kept a song I requested until the end as well which made a great finale with everyone dancing in a big circle around me and my husband. It was definitely a night to remember thanks to Backbeat’s great music. Thank you so much for a fantastic night!” Read more

I have had today the opportunity of speaking with my client Lisa Adams, and she is completely “blown-away” on what we all produced for her training weekend and Awards Night. Lisa has had “none-stop praise” from her Vendors, her fellow Directors and her Sales Teams North and South since going into her office today!! She said that this is; “in no small part” in what we all provided and thanked me for making her “look great” on the night. This is as a direct result of your bands collective professionalism, attention, energy and detail to the Awards running order and your part in that. Your “Party Set” kept the dance floor buzzing all night which made this such a successful event to the end! I have had the pleasure of producing the Micro-P conference and awards nights for the last 15 years, and year on year the pressure is still to deliver “The Best Ever” – you have not failed me again this year! May I again thank you and your band once more and look forward to working with you again on the 2014 exertis MICRO-P training weekend. Many thanks and kind regards Alistair Haig” Read more

From start to finish we received a fantastic service, the communication was consistent and all paperwork and finalisation was simple. We had no problems and would definitely use Alive Network again in the future. Teenage Kicks are amazing, they look great, sound fantastic and are 3 very talented guys. We left the choice of music to the band and the songs they played were spot on, they make them their own by putting their own twist on them which for us made them better that the originals. The band even learnt a song to play for our first dance at our wedding and we were so pleased, they played it so well and again put their own twist on it which made it even better. I would highly recommend Teenage Kicks, they are definitely worth every penny!!” Read more

Arranging such events from reviews on line / demos etc is always 'a bit of a stab in the dark, but I needn't have worried with Retrospect because they far exceeded my expectations. Retrospect were keen to make the evening function a success - and they succeeded! They managed to get even the non dancers up onto the dance floor and also took the time to speak to my daughter, myself and other guests to make sure they played tracks that would suit. The atmosphere they created was amazing - I cannot speak more highly of them! Thank you Retrospect and I hope to be able to meet you again - I will certainly be recommending you at every opportunity.” Read more
