Our Guide to the best
Wedding Bands the North East has to offer
Everything you need to know about hiring live wedding bands
The North East has a diverse musical history going back through the years and covering a wide range of genres – from legends Sting, Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame, Dire Straits and Whitesnake, to Prefab Sprout, Pet Shop Boy Neil Tenant, Kenickie and Lauren Laverne, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini of Girls Aloud, Perrie Edwards of Little Mix, and James Arthur… and not forgetting Ant & Dec (OBEs).
The North East is home to many live music venues, including Newcastle’s O2 Academy, The Middlesbrough Empire and The Gala in Durham. For festivals, the region’s well served too, with the North-East’s largest inner-city music festival Hit The North, and This Is Tomorrow Festival both in Newcastle. Durham hosts Hardwick Live, while Darlington Summer Sound is a festival of tribute artists, and Lindisfarne Festival provides ‘the ultimate end of summer party’.
Our bands are available to hire in every area of the North East including:
Alive Network is home to the very best wedding bands who are available to hire for weddings taking place within the region.
