Price Guide

Description Price
Two one hour sets£350
Included in this are our PA system, lighting and a limited DJ service before and between the sets. Pre-recorded music can also be played after the final set, though this may incur an extra charge after midnight. Events more than 15 miles away (up to 50 miles) will incur an extra fee for travel expenses and the time involved. This fee will depend on how far the band need to go. There may be an extra charge if we are required to set up earlier in the day and consequently need to wait around until the performance - for example, if the room is not available to us for the two hour period required to set up before the show. Events on a week day (Monday - Friday) may incur an extra charge.

About / Biography

Alive and Kicking is a high quality 4 piece covers band that play a range of rock, pop and dance music from the 1950s to the present day, which can be tailored to the requirements of each client.

Alive and Kicking have gained a reputation as an exciting, entertaining and versatile band, performing at various types of functions and events including wedding and birthday parties, as well as other anniversaries and celebrations. We have also gigged at a range of pubs and clubs. The members of the band have all been playing for a good number of years and as a result bring that extra level of professionalism and maturity to their performance.

Our repertoire is extensive and we are always prepared to learn and perform songs that aren't in our current listing, provided we are given enough notice. Please note that this may affect our fee, depending on the amount of work involved in learning any new material.

We have our own PA and lighting systems and can offer a limited DJ service as part of the package.

We are based in Southampton but will travel a reasonable distance to perform, provided that any extra travel costs are added to our basic fee. Please note that our minimum fee is for two one hour sets. We are prepared to play longer and finish later than 11.30pm, subject to negotiation.
