"Extremely happy. We had a disaster with a fall on the dance floor and ambulance arrived but Frankie quickly moved her equipment to the next room without any fuss and she kept the dance mood going"

"We want to say how wonderful your email below is, even before we get to the recording. We put a lot of original thinking into the ceremony and had a clear idea of what we wanted to do, including input in three different languages, all of which we managed to carry off thanks to Sonore’s willingness to take on an original piece (which was beautifully played) and to lead a Maori love song. For this reason we are so happy to hear you say that the ceremony will live long in the memory as this means an awful lot to us! We had also worried later in the day that the venue had done you a disservice by leading people into the Engine house and away from your performance, and while that was taking place Elly and I were all around the venue taking photographs. We heard you playing Winter Flowers and worried that there was no-one around at this point to hear it. To know that in fact you will have been preparing this recording therefore gives us a huge boost, not to mention that the recording is wonderful. Thank you so much I and we have sent this on to Lucy, who is rightly so happy with this. Your email and the recording lifted our spirits on this point so much - we were left with no words! And so it just remains to thank you again for your engagement and professionalism at the wedding. We have been very lucky to find you. We wish you all the very best and hope you will be involved in similar events for others in the future. We had never expected that we would benefit from working with a group as dedicated as yours, and for that, we were very lucky."

"BEST PERFORMACE EVER! - Gemma & Chess (ABBA Party Duo) were absolutely fantastic and gave an amazing performance. This was for my Dad's 90th Birthday Party, so wasn't sure how performing to four family generations would go down, but the girls using their natural charm and their warm connection to the audience, created an atmosphere of relaxation, but also great excitement. Part of their routine was Interacting, walking around our dining room tables (not a very big room either) and that really worked. The girls even helped with the happy birthday celebration song for my Dad and even inspired this 90 year old gentlemen onto the dancefloor - wow, now that is an achievement!. Using their fantastic voices, great costumes, dance routines they delivered the best of ABBA perfectly and completely smashed it out the room!! Everybody that attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves and I had great feedback, so a big warm thank you ABBA Party Duo, very well done you are truly stars. I 100% fully recommend ABBA Party Duo to all,"

"Absolutely amazing! I’d seen Xstatic Duo at a couple of other events and asked her to sing at my birthday. What a night - great set list and kept the dance floor full all night! Everyone commented on her incredible voice and sense of fun. I am a huge fan and a bit of a groupie now - always looking out for where they are playing and trying to go along. Guaranteed to be a great night whatever the occasion - would recommend wholeheartedly!"

Her singing was wonderful and did not disappoint . Her song choices were perfect and slotted in with what our friends and family liked too I will definitely use Laura again in the future Ashleigh "

"Wow Wow Wow. I cannot put into words how amazing our evening was at Tortworth. You gals were absolutely fantastic. A million times better than we could ever have imagined. EVERYONE loved you - even my 82 year old father used the word fantastic (this word has never come out of his mouth before!)... And everyone on the dance floor all evening was just excellent - all age groups. Your act is just great. The outfits, the band, the lighting, and your act - absolute perfection. And you are just lovely people to boot! What an amazing time. Our only regret? That no one videoed you! We want to replay and replay and replay..... Consider yourselves booked for our next UK bash."

"We thank you for your massive contribution to what was a brilliant night and one that Keira said she will always remember. We are only too happy to recommend you and feel free to approach us at any time if there is anything we can do to help. "Rory played the saxophone at my daughter’s 21st birthday party and it is no exaggeration to say that his contribution was a massive factor in a hugely successful evening. First and perhaps most importantly, Rory is highly personable and works so incredibly hard. He seemed to perform non-stop all evening and always at such a high standard. His enthusiasm and energy were absolutely brilliant and so many of our guests were highly complimentary about him, with some still talking about him a week later." Thank you so much Rory and I know that wherever you play you will really make a hugely positive difference. John & Paula, Birthday Party, Rory @ Private House, Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, August, 2024"

Hi John, I hope you had a fantastic bank holiday weekend in Paris! I trust you got a chance to enjoy some of the Paralympics while you were there—it must have been an incredible experience. Thank you so much for your kind feedback regarding Keira’s 21st birthday party. I am absolutely thrilled to hear that the music contributed to such a memorable evening. Knowing that Keira, her friends, and family had a great time really means the world to me. It was truly a pleasure working with you all and being part of such a special milestone. I’m also incredibly grateful for the wonderful testament you provided. Your words are very much appreciated, and I’m delighted that my performance made such a positive impact. It’s always rewarding to hear that my energy and enthusiasm were well-received. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to [agency] if there’s anything else I can do, or if you ever need live music for future events. I’d be more than happy to collaborate again! Sending you my very best wishes. All the best, Rory

"Their musical skills and connection are amazing and produced pieces timed to perfection. Bonnie’s voice lends itself brilliantly to the range of songs they chose. Some of the covers were surprising and just worked beautifully – I would listen to their version of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” and La Roux’s “Bulletproof” all day! The audience were drawn in and Bonnie had us singing along to one of their own songs and clapping to others. After the set ended there was unanimous demand for more and they played a storming encore of The Stone Roses “She Bangs the Drums” followed by Mary Hopkin’s “Those were the Days” which everyone spontaneously joined in with. Great music, great fun and everyone smiling as they left. You can’t ask for more from a night out!"

"Lovely was absolutely fantastic. Booked as a background singer for a Christmas Function, to sing at the beginning of the evening while the 120 guests arrived and ate their dinner. Lovely's singing is phenomenal and her ability to work the crowd is second to none. Unfortunately, I had booked a band to follow on after her set. I really wanted to get her to sing all night. If I'm honest, I was a bit put off booking Lovely as she was so cheap. Almost half the cost of everyone else I looked at booking. I am so glad I went with my gut instinct. I can't recommend Lovely enough and hope to get the chance to book her again."

"I booked Station 2 Station for my wife's surprise birthday party in Cardiff. She loves good live music and they were excellent. They were easy to deal with, quick at responding and listened to what I wanted. On the night they were great. The music was at a good volume for the room size, not too loud as many bands seem to do. The singing and playing sounded great and they interacted with the audience and mixed up popular songs in a fun way that got lots of people up dancing. It was a fairly small party of around 40 people and they really made the atmosphere. Nice guys, great music, good option."

"James was an absolute star! From start to finish, James was so professional, friendly and just as excited as we were about our special day. His song list was spot on, we just couldn't choose them all! Communication and our pre wedding meetings were excellent, really got us buzzing. On the day, oh my god. On site exactly when he said, calm and ready to go. All day everyone said just how great James sounded, the songs were executed perfectly. If we weren't so busy on our special day we would have loved to have just sat front and centre and listened for his whole performance. You will not be disappointed, James is a credit to the Alive Network. Thank you James for making our day."

"Rosy was amazing from start to finish, she sung a beautiful mix of songs in both Welsh and English. Our guests raved about Rosy and we were so pleased she travelled to be with us. Thank you so much! "
