We were more than happy with your service and the act we booked through you. What a great act! Gold were fantastic and everyone loved them. I had spoken to Matthew prior to the night and he seemed very organised and enthusiastic. He was more than happy to plan his performances around what we wanted. From the moment Gold started playing on the night I knew my guests were in for a treat. Not only were they obviously accomplished musicians but they threw their heart and soul into their performance. The passion and effort they put in had a real impact on my guests and everone wanted to get on the dancefloor and get involved. The vocalists had great personalities and got everyone involved with what was going on on the stage. I honestly couldn't believe how good these guys were and how good they sounded. What a great bunch of talented people. Cheers, Andy and Katie. ” Read more

Roisin booked The Matt Thomas Big Band for their event

“Hi James, The wedding went seamlessly and Matt Thomas was brilliant. We all arrived back from the church and the sun was shining, the food was cooking, drinks were being handed out and Matt was on the patio singing - this, I think, will remain always as one of the most perfect and memorable parts of the entire day.

We all arrived back from the church and the sun was shining, the food was cooking, drinks were being handed out and Matt was on the patio singing - this, I think, will remain always as one of the most perfect and memorable parts of the entire day. The guests all mingled while we had our photos taken, enjoying the atmosphere that Matt created as he sang. Everyone really enjoyed the day and Matt's singing really complimented each individual part of the reception - I would highly recommend Matt Thomas and Alive network to any of my friends or family booking a special event, both you and Matt have been helpful and professional and I am very grateful. Many thanks, Roisin” Read more

“Dear Nick, We thought the Cartoon Kings were brilliant. Thank you all so much for your super contribution to Kate and Beetle's wedding celebrations.

Thank you all so much for your super contribution to Kate and Beetle's wedding celebrations. As you probably gathered they loved every minute of it! The quality and mix of music was exactly what we had hoped for, we were only sorry that the meal ran on later than planned and we didn't have as much of the band as we would have liked! Paul thought you would like to know that the bar bill was less than expected - we think we have the band to thank for keeping everyone on the dance floor! With very many thanks to everyone, Paul and Ali Mindelsohn ” Read more

My mum has already sent an email but I thought it was important that you received some feedback from Ollie (my husband) and I. Firstly I'd like to thank you for the service you provided - personally. As you know co-ordinating a UK wedding from Australia has its challenges but the excellent website, as well as your responsiveness and attention to detail made choosing and booking a band so easy! Thank you! I've provided some feedback to In Session directly but thought you'd want to see what we thought. ..........Thank you thank you thank you - you were brilliant!! Having our reception in a marquee on one of the wettest days of the year created a few challenge with the power supply, but once up and running nothing could dampen our spirits. You had us on the dance floor all night (non stop - no break!!). You have to be one of the most professional bands I've ever seen. You have such a great play list - I don't think there was one person that didn't dance. A month on and people are still commenting on how good you were!! Thank you - you helped make our reception a real party!! Please feel free to use these comments. Thanks Paul and best wishes ” Read more

JOHN booked The Long Lost Cousins for their event

“Thank you so much for a wonderful evening’s entertainment on Saturday. We had heard good things about you beforehand so we had high expectations for the band. But you actually surpassed them easily. It was a great selection of songs that you played, ideal for the mixed bag of ages that we had there. I doubt there are many bands out there that would even attempt a Roy Orbison ballad but your singer...”“Thank you so much for a wonderful evening’s entertainment on Saturday. We had heard good things about you beforehand so we had high expectations for the band. But you actually surpassed them easily. It was a great selection of songs that you played, ideal for the mixed bag of ages that we had there. I doubt there are many bands out there that would even attempt a Roy Orbison ballad but your singer pulled that off brilliantly. Loved all the Elvis & Buddy Holly stuff too. We also very much appreciate that you had done your research and played “All or Nothing.” We have to confess that neither of us had any idea that it had been number 1 on our wedding day, probably too many other things going on at the time! All the same, it was a lovely thought and one that we will not forget. There’s a definite booking for you in 2016 for our 50th.” Read more
