“Wanted to send a quick email before we set off on our honeymoon. Thank you to you and The Magic Tones for providing such fantastic music last night. We have received so many (and I mean so many) compliments about what a great band and the music they played, please pass on the to them all, they were great (Kings of Leon was absolutely amazing!). My parents go to lots of functions (many more than we do) and thought they were one of the best bands they had heard in a long time! Thank you again – we had a great few days (well when you marry a Scottish man it has to take more than one day to celebrate!!) Cheers!”
David & Lucinda Lang - Wedding , Hampshire (The Magic Tones)
“Thank you very much for providing us the band yesterday, they were amazing and they did a great job. Thanks again.”
“Hi guys. Thanks for playing loads of songs that everyone knew the words to, every song was a classic. People were up dancing all night and everyone said afterwards how great the band were. Thanks for being so friendly and for turning up on time. Such a talented group!”
Simon Monga - Wedding , Farnham Bush Hotel, Surrey (The Magic Tones)
“What can I say? The band were absolutely amazing Saturday! They went over and above any expectations I had. Everyone there was up dancing it literally made the wedding – the atmosphere was fantastic. So many people asked where iI found them and for contact details and I would recommend them to anyone. In fact, please use this if you have a reviews or recommendations page on your website at all. Thanks so much!”
“Thank you so much for your great entertainment last night. Everyone thought you were incredible! Hope to have you back again soon!”
Camilla Jacobs - Function , Basingstoke Hockey Club
“We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you as the best band ever. You nailed our first dance and the rest of the music was amazing. You are truly the best band ever and we are so please we booked you. Thank you again”
Emily and Ben Goymer – Wedding , Hampshire (Beat Junkie)
“Just wanted to say thank you to all members of the band for playing at Rosie and Ryan’s wedding at New Place on Sunday. You were amazing – perfect choice of songs to get everyone up on the dance floor. Lots of the guests said how great you were and you made an enormous contribution to what what was a terrific occasion. Thanks again.”
Kathryn Tooley - Wedding , De Vere New Place, Hampshire (The Magic Tones)
“Just wanted to drop you a note to say the band were fantastic and had everyone up dancing! We were really pleased and would be happy to recommend them. Thanks!”
“I just like to say a massive, massive thank you, to you and Decade!!!! Firstly they made the evening, everyone really, really enjoyed the music!!! In fact they were brilliant!! We’ve been to so many weddings or events and the bands been crap and no-ones danced or enjoyed the music. Luckily for us it was the opposite!
Secondly. When looking for a wedding band, decade were the only band which could set up in the evening which helped us out massively, due to the size of the hall. A lot of other bands had really stupid requests with regards to food etc. We found Neil and the boys very relaxing and a great laugh ! Other bands would only play a first song from there set list.. Again Neil was very flexible with this..! I hope they had enough food and drink throughout the set.. ( I also tried to off load as much wine and cava on to them as possible at the end of the evening! ) Thirdly...They were great value for such a great 4-piece band! From a very happy bride and groom!”
Ian Brownlee - Wedding , Petersfield, Hampshire (Decade)
“WOW !!!! cant explain how great these guys are! Such lovely people and such an amazing sound, sarahs voice is beautiful and ben is fantastic on the guitar. so glad i chose you both thankyou so much you made it perfect, will never forget my entrance to “i wont give up” love jo and phil”
“Can you please pass on my massive thanks to the band and the message that they had great feedback from all of the team. Certainly on my part, and probably most of the teams’ behalf, we apologise for our tuneless singing and somewhat questionable dancing, but a great time was had by all!”
“I just wanted to say a BIG thank you for all your help and to the band as well. They were excellent! Lots of great feedback. Great vocals, guitarist, and great songs played. The music and lights in between the three sets worked well. I will certainly pass on my recommendations.”
“I booked Live Lounge Band duo for my wifes 50th and it made the evening. Sarah has the voice of an angel and their accoustic set is incredible. Not one guest failed to comment on their talent.”
“Ben is a fantastic and talented musician. We feel very privelidged to have had him play at our reception drinks. The music created the perfect atmosphere and set the tone and many of our feats commented on how lovely it was. Despite the rain and power cuts Ben remained calm and professional and we would highly recommend him!!! Many thanks!”
Lewis Edes - Wedding, Bartholomew Barn, West Sussex
“Alive provided a truly excellent show for our wedding. Their flexibility to accomodate our requests with setup, set list and use of the kit was much appreciated. Most importantly, the band are superb. Our guests all loved their work and everyone commented as much. We didn’t expect so many people to be dancing as long as they did. We would definitely book them again. cheers!”
Tom & Laura - Wedding , Pennyhill Park Hotel & Spa, Surrey (Alive)
“It went really well thank you – the girls ( and the staff!) loved it. The band was great and everyone had a really good time...”
“I just felt that I had to put pen to paper to thank you and the rest of School Reunion Band for making my 40th birthday party such a fantastic evening. I couldn’t have wished for better! Everyone that came (and braved the snow – which we all could have done without!) have commented on how brilliant the band were and the choice of music! People have said it was the best party they have been to in ages! Even my husband who is notoriously hard to please said it was the first time he had ever heard someone sing a Queen song to rival Freddie! Once again, many thanks and best wishes”
Liesl Padbury - Birthday Party (School Reunion Band), Berkshire
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you. The Magic Tones really MADE the night. We were over the moon and lots of the guests had said what a fab choice you were. I had been so worried that people wouldn’t dance but from the first song to the last the dance floor was packed. It was truly wonderful, thank you. I can’t wait until the next party to invite you back!”
“Dear Academy Allstars, “We just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding in December. You were absolutely fantastic, we had so many comments from our guests about how good you were and we could not agree more. It was so lovely to see all of our guests having such a good time dancing and enjoying themselves along with us and we want to thank you for your part in that. We would highly recommend Academy Allstars to anyone needing a band for their event; upbeat, lively sets, good mix of songs and above all fantastic musicians! Wishing you all the best for the future.”
