David A booked Live Wires for their wedding at Albrighton Hussey Hotel in Shropshire

“From initial booking with Clare at Alive Network to the Live Wires playing at our wedding, the whole process was stress free. Booking couldn't be easier and I felt safe and secure booking with Alive Network due to all of the positive reviews.

Booking couldn't be easier and I felt safe and secure booking with Alive Network due to all of the positive reviews. Once booked I had a long time to wait until the wedding, but sure enough, a few weeks before the day Clare contacted me with details of Live Wires and who to speak with regarding song choices etc. I contacted Live Wires and they were excellent. They let us pick some songs and the rest we left to them (well, they are the professionals!). The day arrived and Lives Wires arrived on time, looking sharp and outperformed our expectations. They were simply amazing! From 50's through to more recent times their song choices were excellent and there talent clear for all to see. We had an amazing time... And they provided a DJ option for free so we danced long in to the night! We can't thank you enough for helping us with our booking. We had an amazing day!” Read more

Paul T booked Off The Record for their event

“Just a note to thank you and the guys for making our Masonic Ladies Festival on Friday a great success. I have attended many ladies festivals but have never heard a band quite as good as Off The Record, I have also had many people tell me the same since the event. I think the fact the floor was full all evening reiterates that.

I have attended many ladies festivals but have never heard a band quite as good as Off The Record, I have also had many people tell me the same since the event. I think the fact the floor was full all evening reiterates that. All the guys are exceptionally talented musicians and your vocal qualities are superb!! The range of decades and genres you played meant there was something to please everyone. I would have no problems in strongly recommending Off The Record to any one looking for a band, and I'm sure we will see you back at our lodge very soon.” Read more

Rob L booked Live Wires for their wedding in Staffordshire

“Live Wires are the perfect band for getting people dancing and creating a great atmosphere. I would book them again and certainly recommend them to anyone wanting a live guitar band. They are a really nice group of guys who made the whole evening fun from setting up efficiently to a rousing finale.

They are a really nice group of guys who made the whole evening fun from setting up efficiently to a rousing finale. Our guests commented on how good the band were and as we wanted a live band to create a party atmosphere but not to be tacky the Live Wires were perfect. Alive Network made the whole process very easy and all dealings with them were timely and professional, they clearly know what they are doing and make it easy for the customer.” Read more

Danny P booked Off The Record for their event

“Off The Record played their version of Michael Jackson's Beat It at the 30th Birthday celebrations for BBC Sussex at Brighton's Royal Pavillion in October 2013. Laura and the guys sounded great, looked the part and did a unique version of the Jackson classic that itself was the same age as the radio station. Thanks all for being part of it.”

Richard B booked Academy for their wedding in London

“Academy were very professional, had good communication with the crowd, and tolerant on many occasions - one time some water leaked on the stage, another time a couple of guests went up the stairs that was on the stage past the band, and our niece and nephew were mucking about with their microphone a bit during the break which they all took in their stride.
