The only downside was that it had to end!” Read more

The J booked The Sarah J Band for their event

“Palpably, Alan Bates continues to find off-the-beaten-track talent for his Candid label(s) releases. Firm evidence of this reached my ears in a peak evening during another week, at the Dean Street Pizza Express venue, devoted to this special stable. The latter set included a duet with the attractive young lady who opened the evening - Sarah Mitchell, who had come 'all the way down from Leed...”“Palpably, Alan Bates continues to find off-the-beaten-track talent for his Candid label(s) releases. Firm evidence of this reached my ears in a peak evening during another week, at the Dean Street Pizza Express venue, devoted to this special stable. The latter set included a duet with the attractive young lady who opened the evening - Sarah Mitchell, who had come 'all the way down from Leeds' with her enormously supportive trio. Sarah proved to have two distinct singing styles at her disposal. There is Aretha-type soul/gospel big-voice attack, which she uses on most of her own compositions, of which there were seven. Let Me Apologise was a particularly successful 'soul-strutting' item. Then, early in her set, the ultra-slow verse of The More I See You sounded like someone in a stage musical, as did her measured delivery of What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life? Overall, this dual-personality soul/show presentation had much appeal. LES TOMKINS ” Read more

Charlotte A booked Oscar Bernhardt Ensemble for their wedding

“Beng a family of musicians, we were determined to find the right band for our wedding. We were more then happy with the Oscar Berhardt Ensemble! The band were all very professional, yet they were accomodating enough to let me sing with them. They were very conscious of making sure that they fit in to our day, as opposed to just turning up and doing their set.

The band were all very professional, yet they were accomodating enough to let me sing with them. They were very conscious of making sure that they fit in to our day, as opposed to just turning up and doing their set. All of our guests, of all ages, really enjoyed the music and all were up dancing and commented on how much they enjoyed it. The Alive Network offered a brilliant service. They took in to consideration our brief and budget and advised on what they thought wold suit us the best. They kept in good contact at the time of booking and running up to the date. I would recommend this band, and the Alive network to anyone. ” Read more
