Thanks very much for an excellent performance at the Charity evening. Having found yourselves through the Internet, you exceeded all of our expectations. The music was fun, lively, everyone loved it and it was great to see the dance floor full early on in the performance. You were professional, on time, accommodating and had a great sound. We will have no hesitation in recommending you in the future to friends and colleagues.” Read more

5 stars - Beat Collective are Highly Recommended
The S booked Beat Collective for their event

“The description ‘function band’ really should be banned from use on acts’ publicity. It certainly does groups like Beat Collective no favours, conjuring up images of staid, elderly musicians wearing bow ties and drab formal attire. But, this band’s six-strong line-up here performed as good a showcase set I’ve seen for a long time from a so-called function outfit. The two lead female vocalists ...”“The description ‘function band’ really should be banned from use on acts’ publicity. It certainly does groups like Beat Collective no favours, conjuring up images of staid, elderly musicians wearing bow ties and drab formal attire. But, this band’s six-strong line-up here performed as good a showcase set I’ve seen for a long time from a so-called function outfit. The two lead female vocalists are top drawer, the musicians edgy and the spin they manage to put on really old numbers, like Proud Mary, is a lesson for other bands on the circuit.” Read more

David booked Happy Hour for their event

“These guys are incredible. We got married on the 8th November 2013 and knew who we wanted to be there to really make it a night to remember. Right from the first song the crowd were on their feet loving every single minute of their performance. We couldn't have asked for better, the atmosphere they brought with them made everyone buzz.

We got married on the 8th November 2013 and knew who we wanted to be there to really make it a night to remember. Right from the first song the crowd were on their feet loving every single minute of their performance. We couldn't have asked for better, the atmosphere they brought with them made everyone buzz. As my wife said to me as we stood there at the end of the night I've danced so hard my hair has fallen out, my dress is battered and my feet are destroyed.....but she wanted more! For anyone thinking about booking these guys, don't think.....JUST BOOK THEM NOW!! I've been told she wants them at her 30th now.....at least it'll give the feet time to recover! So thank you guys, perfect gents, brilliant musicians and the best way to see out our first day as man and wife. We cannot thank you enough!” Read more

They were simply amazing!

5 stars - Live Wires are Highly Recommended
David A booked Live Wires for their wedding at Albrighton Hussey Hotel in Shropshire

“From initial booking with Clare at Alive Network to the Live Wires playing at our wedding, the whole process was stress free.

Booking couldn't be easier and I felt safe and secure booking with Alive Network due to all of the positive reviews. Once booked I had a long time to wait until the wedding, but sure enough, a few weeks before the day Clare contacted me with details of Live Wires and who to speak with regarding song choices etc. I contacted Live Wires and they were excellent. They let us pick some songs and the rest we left to them (well, they are the professionals!). The day arrived and Lives Wires arrived on time, looking sharp and outperformed our expectations. They were simply amazing! From 50's through to more recent times their song choices were excellent and there talent clear for all to see. We had an amazing time... And they provided a DJ option for free so we danced long in to the night! We can't thank you enough for helping us with our booking. We had an amazing day!” Read more
