The guys were professional throughout the day, being prompt to set up and sound check and maintaining a high level of enthusiasm and energy all the way until midnight. We strongly recommend taking up the offer of an afternoon acoustic session as this was well recieved during our wedding reception ensuring there was no lull in our proceedings. As a four piece the sound that they create is full and rich and their playlist is impressive with songs to suit all tastes through the decades. The rock and roll set really had our wedding guests partying up until the last song, and band guest interaction was superb! If you are looking to impress your guests at your special occasion then look no further than Happy Hour! ” Read more

You guys were absolutely fantastic - you put on an amazing show. We have had many comments about you, most of which have been that you were the best function band that they have ever seen!!! We also have numerous friends who are in bands as well as my Dad and I and we were also equally impressed - the sound was amazing, set list was great and everyone was dancing all night (don't look back in anger with everyone singing at the top of their voices in a circle around us will remain a fond memory of mine for the rest of my life!), interaction was brilliant (my Dad is a bit of a legend amongst my friends after he played with you - thank you for letting him do that - it was a very brave move considering you hadn't heard him play before!) and above all you are all really nice, friendly, easy-going guys! Hopefully we will have the chance to book you again at some point - a few of our friends are getting married next year and I think they took your card and were interested in booking you so hopefully we'll see another performance soon. ” Read more

Alive Network made it very easy to arrange the booking and the communication and assistance was excellent. In the build up to the Wedding Ian from the band was extremely helpful and gave me one less thing to worry about! The band were absolutely brilliant and did a great 1st set of various songs. I'd specifically asked for the band to play Oasis/ Stone Roses songs in the 2nd set to which the band duly responded and played a storming set. Every single person I spoke to afterwards made a point of saying how much they enjoyed the band. First rate service all round.” Read more

Ian contacted us before the wedding to ask about the repertoire and on the day the band set up with no fuss. Our Caterers and Marquee manager commented that they were really polite. Ian and the lads were absolutely superb, and had our daughter and son-in-laws reception guests on their feet from the first dance, which incidentally they hadn't heard of before, but learnt especially for them (Adele's version of Bob Dylans - Make you feel my love). So accommodating, really friendly and polite - we can't give them enough compliments. They played 3 x 45min sets, together with DJ between, and kept the same energy up all the time. Their 'Beatles' medley was superb, as were all their covers, and it goes without saying that their version of Oasis, Killers etc was practically as good as the originals. They had the reception rocking. They finished on 'I predict a riot' which almost brought the marquee down (not literally) and then treated the guests to an encore of 'Champagne Supernova' - brilliantly superb. Please pass on our grateful thanks to Ian and crew. If there was such a thing it would be 10 out of 10 WE WILL BOOK AGAIN!! (Just need an event to celebrate!!)” Read more
