Function Band Reviews

The dance floor was full!

5 stars - The Walks are Highly Recommended
Anne H booked The Walks for their event

“The Walks were a great band! Easy to deal with in the booking and set up stages. We had a fantastic night and the dance floor was full. The drinkers in the background were tapping their feet. A good mix of music throughout the night. Since the event all of our guests have remarked on how great the band were. I would definitely book them again.”

Would love to book you again someday!

5 stars - Resident Heroes are Highly Recommended
Victoria P booked Resident Heroes for their wedding at Roughmoor Farm in Somerset

“Resident heroes what a nice bunch they are! My wife and I are very sceptical people who don't do anything unless we are completely sure of it. Alivenetwork was recommended to us by a friend and we searched this and many other sites to find the band we were looking for which took yonks and was a little tedious until......we heard Resident heroes and we knew we had found the band for our wedding!&n...”“Resident heroes what a nice bunch they are! My wife and I are very sceptical people who don't do anything unless we are completely sure of it. Alivenetwork was recommended to us by a friend and we searched this and many other sites to find the band we were looking for which took yonks and was a little tedious until......we heard Resident heroes and we knew we had found the band for our wedding!  We were still a little sceptical though, This is a band we have only heard on the net!? Have they doctored the recording to make them selves sound better?Well after a little deliberating we decided alivenetwork has been recommended and the band sounded ace so we booked! Mat from the band made contact with us prior to the wedding and we relaxed a little as he was extremely accommodating and seemed just the kind of guy we would want to be at our wedding.  The guys from Resident heroes turned up at the wedding and set up with out issue or any fuss and we're polite and discreet as they went about there set up.  Our first dance is a moment we won't forget the band performed wonderfully from the moment the first cords were strummed right to the last dance! The guys were accommodating to our guests with there requests and sang every song of there set to a standard that if you were outside our marquee you would swear the original artist was at our wedding just a brilliant band! Thanks guys you did us proud and would love to book you again someday!  If your thinking about booking these chaps and they have dates free don't hesitate get it booked so your not disappointed there fab!!” Read more

Your interaction with the crowd, especially your acoustic set at the end, was absolutely amazing. We felt you really listened to us and understood our music tastes, and catered to the sort of stuff we like. You and your band worked tirelessly and professorially, and we could not have asked for more. You're great singers and talented musicians with loads of energy - you really got the audience moving. If you need any recommendations in the future, I'm happy to write a more full review for you. The photos on Facebook are great too - I'll start tagging people! All the best, Em and Jon” Read more

The build up of the songs and the interaction with the audience made for a very impressive performance. I have already received positive feedback from some of the punters and subject to their availability, I will be looking to book them for next year's Ball when we have confirmed the date.I place great value on the politeness and grounding of the act, they were very friendly and relaxed with us all. As you know, we have some bands that turn up, sing their songs, then leave. These guys did a first rate performance, then stayed around at the end to chat about ‘stuff’ which I personally appreciated.” Read more

They took care of the playlists between sets and of course when they played the guests just loved it.

Highlight for me was Mr Brightside - to watch all guests run over from every corner to jump and dance just made my night. ” Read more
