“From the first phone call to Alive Network I knew that we could relax about the music for the party we were planning!

Nick was polite and efficient and helped us settle on Chelsea Swagger who turned out to be first class! They were charming, polite and played a fantastic selection of songs that kept the dance floor packed all evening! It was a 21st party so there was a range of ages to please and everyone was full of praise! I have had several messages since the party saying how brilliant they were! They totally exceeded expectations! ” Read more

Danny A booked Off The Record for their wedding at Langdon Court Hotel in Devon

“We wanted to thank you all so much for playing at our wedding recently. You and the guys conducted yourselves with real professionalism on the evening and indeed from our initial telephone call where you were able to answer our questions with a “can do” attitude which was both helpful and refreshing.

You and the guys conducted yourselves with real professionalism on the evening and indeed from our initial telephone call where you were able to answer our questions with a “can do” attitude which was both helpful and refreshing. The music was great from beginning to end, the acoustic version of Florence and the Machine ‘You’ve Got the Love’ for our first dance was amazing. We had fantastic comments from our guests, many of whom are regular concert/festival attendees. We would be happy to recommend you in the future and it was great to have the pictures of you all having fun in the photo-booth for us to keep for posterity! Thanks again” Read more

Laura W booked Hipster And The Hot Hot Horns for their event

“Wow!! Having Hipster at my charity event made sure that my evening was something people were talking about for weeks afterwards, and therefore talking about the charity & donating!! I had bragged about the ability of the band in the run up to my event and they certainly didn’t disappoint!!! I wish I could relive the night all over again!! Thank you and God bless!!!”

The Heat rocked our socks off!

5 stars - The Heat are Highly Recommended
Victoria A booked The Heat for their wedding at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire

“Booking The Heat for our wedding was one of the critical decisions in our wedding. We live in Hong Kong where there are lots of amazing cover bands playing every genre and they are constantly updating their set lists in bars and clubs every night of the week. This means we are somewhat spoilt for quality when at home and so it was imperative that we found a band for our UK wedding with the rang...”“Booking The Heat for our wedding was one of the critical decisions in our wedding. We live in Hong Kong where there are lots of amazing cover bands playing every genre and they are constantly updating their set lists in bars and clubs every night of the week. This means we are somewhat spoilt for quality when at home and so it was imperative that we found a band for our UK wedding with the range of songs, variety and energy and the sound that lived up to our high expectations. Joyfully The Heat were exactly the skilled performers that we saw in their online videos. Honestly worth more than their money. They rocked our socks off and we were so appreciative that they could sing a new song for our first dance. Having Male and Female vocals gave them a massive edge over the other bands we considered. We have had so many people tell us how fantastic the Heat were and we honestly could find no fault with them and have recommended them to so many friends already! To anybody considering The Heat for a party or wedding ... BOOK THEM you will not regret it!” Read more

Having been in the industry for the past 6 years and also having been in bands, the missus afforded/trusted me with just one job for the wedding! BOOK THE BAND!! Having seen Hipster on numerous occasions and dealt with them regularly I knew there was only one band for me to book! They arrived with no fuss and from the very first chord that they struck the dance floor was packed, my 80 year grandad was up, my 3 year old cousin was up and absolutely everyone in between! I've had countless comments from my family and friends to say that they were amazing and that it was the best wedding they've ever been too! I can honestly say that they made the night truly memorable for all of us!! Me and the other half barely left the dance floor all evening and that's exactly what we wanted, once the "formalities" were out of the way all we wanted to do was get on the dance floor and party, and with Hipster that's exactly what we did! All that's left to say is a massive thank you guys, you made our wedding day!! Two Words: BOOK THEM! Nick (Alive Network Agent) and Jo Taylor! x” Read more

Isabella C booked The Frames for their event

“The Frames played for my 40th Birthday Party and were such a big hit with all my guests. They were really nice to deal with and very professional in their approach. The added DJ was a big bonus and gave everyone a free run on requests! I would not hesitate in recommending The Frames and wish them luck in the future.”

We were so pleased we did! They really knew how to connect with the crowd, performing current top hits as well as the classic disco tunes to get everyone up dancing.The lead singer has a fantastic voice, belting out everything from Rihanna to Dolly Parton with excellence! Before our wedding the band contacted us and we were in frequent contact to discuss our preferences, song requests and any special requirements - all of which they were happy to accommodate. I would highly recommend the Fanatics for any function, not only for their great talent but also their flexibility and professional attitude. For anyone planning a full day function I would highly recommend booking them for an acoustic set in addition to the main reception as we did, as their jazz and soul set gave a lovely ambience to our drinks reception. ” Read more
