“Shame I didn’t get to meet you on Saturday…. But just wanted to drop you a quick note, that I would like you to pass on to the band. Quite simply….. they were awesome!!!! I’ve got to say…. the band ‘made’ the party… everyone I have spoken to since has ‘raved-on’ about them and many have asked for the contact details, which I have passed on.

Quite simply….. they were awesome!!!! I’ve got to say…. the band ‘made’ the party… everyone I have spoken to since has ‘raved-on’ about them and many have asked for the contact details, which I have passed on. The music was brilliant, kept everyone jumping and dancing around all night. Not only that, but the CD’s were great and the band’s organisation and professionalism was second to none.. They were so friendly and ‘up for a good time’ – they even let my husband and I join in the singing, while under the influence of rather a lot of alcohol….(poor them.. hahah). My husband and I, our 70 guests loved them!!! Thank you so much for making our party so memorable… please pass on our thanks and we wish you all the very best of success in the future. Take care, thanks again. ” Read more

“Thank you for your call last week. Please pass on an enormous thanks to the team at Alive Network and Hipster for their fabulous performance at The Blush Ball 2007. Hipster were on great form and I have never seen a dance floor fill so quickly - they really are fantastic.

Please pass on an enormous thanks to the team at Alive Network and Hipster for their fabulous performance at The Blush Ball 2007. Hipster were on great form and I have never seen a dance floor fill so quickly - they really are fantastic. Thank you for all of your help in booking them and getting them all there on time etc. As always Alive Network is such an efficient set up and takes so much of the hassle out of booking a band. Please pass huge thanks on to them. The Blush Ball was a wonderful evening and much enjoyed by our guests. We are thrilled to announce that the final total is in excess of £207,000, which is significantly more than we hoped to raise. Emily Maitlis was a very glamorous host, Rory Bremner had everyone rolling in their seats and then went on to run a very successful auction. Guests were entertained by a fashion show from Ben de Lisi, an outstanding performance by Jack Savoretti and Kim Medcalf's stunning performance as Sally Bowles from Cabaret. All before Cabaret took the Museum by storm!! Breast Cancer Haven receives no government funding and we rely totally on events such as The Blush Ball and donations to continue funding our vital service and to be able to build new Havens nationwide, so your support really is hugely appreciated. Breast Cancer Haven supports the physical and emotional needs of anyone affected by breast cancer. At what is often a frightening and lonely time, the Haven is a place any patient can visit, free of charge, to receive support, counselling and complementary therapies all under one roof. Our doors are open to anyone affected by breast cancer, whether it be the patient themselves or their friends and loved ones who often need support and information to enable them to cope with the far-reaching effects of this illness. With your support we are one step closer to our aim of opening the third Haven in Leeds by 2008, and ultimately to being able to provide our unique combination of support and therapy to every person in the UK affected by this terrible illness. There are no dates in the diary for 2008's Blush Ball as yet but I will be in touch when I have news. With many thanks again and very best regards to Tony Woolliscroft and Hipster, ” Read more

Despite a small hiccup with power to the marquee, I have had nothing but positive comments about the Cartoon Kings, both in terms of the music and their demeanor and approachability. They played an excellent set and had everyone dancing until the end with a couple of well selected encores. We would certainly book them for other events in the future. I have also been very impressed with Alivenetwork too. You suggested the band to us when our original selection was not available and worked with us to secure an excellent evening of entertainment. We thank both you and the band. Many thanks ” Read more

Today is my first day back at work and I just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks very much. We were thrilled with the fact you had learnt "Sweetest Feeling" and that you were flexible to break up your second set when we were leaving. I felt bad I didn't even come over and say hello on the night as I was too busy dancing! Thanks again for really making the evening go with a bang! ” Read more

My sister even described them as the best wedding band she has heard and she is mighty critical of these things!! They really were fantastic and even coped with our rapid changing of mind about the first song 10s before they started playing! people were dancing all night and I had to keep excusing myself from talking to relatives to join in!! I would highly recommend them to anyone as please use any of my comments on your web-site (you may wish to edit slightly!). I can't praise them highly enough and am really grateful to them for everyting. Can you pass our thanks onto Matt and the rest of the band please? I was recommended them by a member of the wedding Ideas Forum and I intend on going back on to recommend them to any future brides having weddings in the midlands area. Thanks again so much Gill ” Read more
