What You Need To Know
Everything you need to know about hiring live wedding bands
The North West of England has produced a wide range of bands and artists – from The Beatles, mezzo-soprano Alice Coote, and 1-D’s Harry Styles, to most of Take That (including blue-eyed boy Gary Barlow), and the indie movement of Madchester, inspiring bands like Happy Mondays, Stone Roses and The Verve.
Famous and inconspicuous live music venues abound across the North West – including Liverpool’s Cavern Club (made famous by a certain fab four), Manchester’s bouncy-floored O2 Ritz nightclub, The Grand in Clitheroe, and Carlisle’s The Brickyard.
The North West is no stranger to a good ol’ music festival, with plenty on offer. From the Lancaster Music Festival, Manchester’s Jazz Festival, to The Beat-Herder Festival in the Ribble Valley, Cheshire’s family-friendly Just So Festival, Liverpool’s Africa Oyé, and the Keswick Mountain Festival, and much more, the region showcases the best in live music and entertainment throughout the year.
The North West is home to two prestigious music schools, both based in Manchester – the Royal Northern College of Music, established in 1893, and Chetham’s School of Music.
Our bands are available to hire in every area of the North West including:
Alive Network is home to the very best wedding bands who are available to hire for weddings taking place within the region.
