Aaron M booked Dirty Weekend for their event

“Alive Network allowed us to find bands to match both our budget and our requirements that were available on our date without us having to go out looking for them - when you have limited time and lots of other things happening, this helped us massively. Their contact with us was good, and we found a great band in Teenage Kicks.

Their contact with us was good, and we found a great band in Teenage Kicks. They were friendly, polite and great entertainment - they had our guests dancing all night, and many of them commented on how good they were! They kept the place rocking even after we'd headed off, and were very easy to deal with - I'd highly recommend them.” Read more

Becky W booked The MBB Band for their event

“Having booked the Mini Big Band on recommendation I was not at all disappointed and in fact was overwhelmed by how wonderful they were. The band members were friendly, cheerful, professional and excellent performers (they all looked good too!). The music was fabulous and the whole band should be recognised for their talents.

The band members were friendly, cheerful, professional and excellent performers (they all looked good too!). The music was fabulous and the whole band should be recognised for their talents. The vocalist was a brilliant singer and performer and the sound the band made was amazing. Everyone at my husbands party commented on the band and were all really enthusiastic about them, many asking me how I had managed to find such a fantastic band. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending the band to my friends. Indeed our friends who came to the party are now hoping to book them for their daughters wedding. To add to that, dealing with Chris before hand when arranging the event was hassle free and easy, I didn't have to worry about anything. Roll on my 50th when I can have them for my big party. Best wishes, Becky Westwood” Read more

Glen W booked Soul Royale for their event

“Laura Valore! What a voice! What stage presence. She really knew how to rock the crowd. We booked with just one month to go before our Easter 2013 party and Laura helped us sort the music out easily, we will have Miss Valore back again!”

Emma booked The Dukes for their wedding at Upwaltham Barn in West Sussex

“We found The Dukes for our wedding through Alive Network and were impressed by the testimonials and audio clips… we weren’t disappointed! The day was running a little late, but the band were totally flexible with setting up and fitting in the playing time.

The day was running a little late, but the band were totally flexible with setting up and fitting in the playing time. They chose the playlist perfectly from our chat beforehand as well as doing a few requests on the night – even playing our university anthem ‘Loveshack’ even though they’d never played it before as a band! So many of our guests commented on how good the band were and we agree – best wedding band we’ve heard for a long time!! The Dukes are great guys, incredibly professional, talented, friendly and a lot of fun. It felt like they were guests by the end of the night. We can’t recommend them enough – we’re now trying to find excuses to book them again!! Best wishes, Emma & Steffan” Read more

Hannah N booked The Brightsides for their event

“The Brightsides played for our wedding. They played loads of brand new tunes, just to accommodate our 50s theme & sounded amazing. Their sound was tight & even though we expected nothing less from such fantastic musicians, it was impressive to hear. Their sound reminded you of the value of live music!

Their sound was tight & even though we expected nothing less from such fantastic musicians, it was impressive to hear. Their sound reminded you of the value of live music! Guests were stunned by their talent, passers by & other hotel residents paused to listen & made enquiries to the hotel as to who they were! In addition to their stunning sound they were all personable, helped with announcements, went the extra mile with DJ requests & chatted to all. The Brightsides couldn't do enough for us & we are so grateful for having them be part of our day. Book The Brightsides, expect greatness!! ” Read more

5 stars - Gypsy Rogues are Highly Recommended
Claire booked Gypsy Rogues for their wedding at Rowton Castle in Shropshire

“The booking process was easy. It was a bit of a pain that the hotel required the various certificates but can understand it as the Gypsy Rogues had not performed at the venue before. The band were very professional and entertaining and encouraged people to participate and join in the fun. They were a good band and anyone who wants a ceilidh band then they cannot go wrong with this group.”
