"Hi Nick,

I'm just sending a quick email to say how amazing Munch were on Saturday night. By the end of the night the dance floor was totally rammed with guests having the time of their lives. Everyone left the place absolutely buzzing.

The lads where totally professional all night and them being so made eveything easier for us. The genuinely couldn't do enough to help out. Mike the lead singer was brilliant in helping the night run smoothly and more importantly whipping the crowd up into a frenzy!

When we were looking at booking a band we spent a lot of time looking through the website and in the end the reason we picked Munch was because of how much positive feedback they got. After Saturday night I can totally understand why. The videos and tracks on their website don't do them justice. Every song they did was top notch and with every song they did another bunch of people piled onto the dance floor.

Me and my wife are now trying to rack our brains to plan another event just so we can have them peform again :)

Also a big thanks to yourself for helping things go so well. All along the way you have been keeping in touch letting us know what is happening and also qucikly answering any questions we may have.

Cheers
Craig

"Adelle and I just wanted to e-mail you and thank you for recommending Munch to us. They played at our wedding on bank holiday Monday and were absolutely brilliant. They played a great range of music, had everyone up dancing and even let one of our friends have a spell on the microphone!

They were tremendously professional and friendly throughout - even giving us a call ahead of time to let us know they were stuck in traffic on the M6, but they managed to arrive on time and helped to ensure that we had a perfect day.

"Munch were fantastic! A definite recommendation. They were professional and fun, and absolutely made the night. All of our guests commented on how brilliant they were.

When we were about to have our first dance, the best man asked the band to wait until the Bridegroom's parents were in the room. Munch did a perfect job of keeping all the guests entertained whilst we were all stood waiting for the parents to arrive.
This situation could have easily been an awkward one, but Munch handled it with absolute perfection.

Their interaction and enthusiasm with the guests was brilliant.

Would most definitely book them again!"

"Gents, just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding on 13th Aug at Tankerlsey Manor in Barnsley, you guys were absolutely great and got everyone jiving all night, just wished I'd had you playing for longer as opposed to DJ ponytail - it was great to see such a long conga as well!

Everyone commented on how great you were and I think we might be seeing you at a few weddings of our friends in the future months.

Thanks again

"Munch were absolutely fantastic. They were friendly, listened to our requests and made sure we had the best reception for our daughter, her new husband and our guests. They had the whole place rocking!

Superb musicians and performers; well done and a massive thank you to them for helping complete the day on a tremendous high. Everyone I spoke to commented on what a brilliant night it was.

Alive Network have been efficient, professional and have delivered a band that the advertising promised.

Many thanks,

"Hi guys,

It's the groom from the 30th July. Sorry about leaving it so long, just back from the honeymoon.

Just wanted to thank you all for coming down and performing at our wedding, you were absolutely brilliant. We have had so many great comments from the guests telling us how you made it a great night.

Don't tell the wife but getting up and performing Live Forever and Wonderwall was the best part of the day for me.

Looking forward to the next event we can get you down for!

"The service provided by Alive Network was faultless in our experience. Before finding the website we were finding it very difficult to traul the internet looking for bands.

Alive Network has all of the information you could possibly need- all in one place. The service provided by Clare was second to none. She replied to emails quickly and efficiently and was exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Munch are an amazing band and they ensured that our wedding reception was rocking! So many of our guests commented that they have never been to a wedding where the dance floor has been so full all night long- and that was all down to Munch!

They were friendly and professional and I would highly recommend them to anyone!"

"When we were originally looking at entertainment for our wedding, we planned on hiring a DJ because that seemed the most cost effective option. After looking around for a bit on the Internet we stumbled across the Alive Network website and after reading all the comments and feedback we realised how much more a live band could feed in the atmosphere of an evening and make it truly great.

When we found Munch's profile we knew they were the one. We loved that they played a mix of older music with contemporary tunes and just generally their whole vibe and look.

Booking through Alive Network gave us confidence and security since we knew we would get a contract and a professional service throughout the whole process.

On the night Munch were amazing. They got a lot of people up on the dance floor and even let one of our enthusiastic groomsmen live out his dreams by allowing him to bang on the drums and have a go on a guitar. Even their hats became legendary as they somehow got passed around the dancefloor and we have really amazing pictures of pretty much ever guest on the dance floor wearing a band member's hat.

We are so glad we made the decision to 'blow the budget' and hire Munch. We'd recommend them to everyone."

"We went to a wedding last year and were really impressed by Munch, so much so that we just had to book them for our wedding on the 9th July this year!

After obtaining the details for Alive Network, the band were booked several months in advance as we didn't want to miss out.

We had an brilliant day which was topped off by Munch playing into the night and the dance floor being packed. Our guests were amazed how good they were. The new father-in-law now wants his other daughter to get married so he can have the band to play at her wedding!!!!

Thanks Alive Network & Munch

"Munch were one of the main talking points of the wedding by all our guests the day after.

The most impressive thing about Munch is that they are able to play it by ear, and they can switch tactics at any moment. They started the first set straight after our 1st dance, but as it was a June wedding, it was still very light and not many people were up on the dance floor.

The band finished their first set so we could have our buffet and then decided to wait until later before coming on again. They just played a DJ set until 22:30 when it was dark outside and everyone was much more in the party spirit.

They then played right through until midnight to a packed dance floor, changing their set choice as they realised which songs were getting our guests up on the dance floor.

Pretty much all our guests said that Munch were the best wedding band they had ever seen. A friend of mine summed it up best when he and his girlfriend danced passed my wife and I and he shouted across to me "Steve, you have the best taste in wedding bands I have ever known"."

"Munch played at our wedding in June and they were awesome!

I can't thank them enough for their impeccable service from leading up to the wedding and on the night for being so professional and friendly and just making our night so very special. They even took the time to learn a particular favourite song of mine which was another hit on the night.

The dance floor was packed all night which made me very happy to see everyone having fun! All the guests complimented the band and I think you may have some future bookings from some of them.

In short Munch exceeded my expectations, the demos do not do them enough justice on Alive Network. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a great party atmosphere.

Thank you Munch!!!"

"A fantastic and enthusiastic band who are really in tune with their audience. We had a fantastic evening with them, some people didn't sit down for the whole evening!

We had only a small cosy gathering of about 40 people and it was still very successful, we would highly recommend them.

"Munch were absolutely amazing, they totally blew us away. They are a lovely and very talented group and we would recommend them to anyone.

They played at our wedding in May and the dance floor was full all night long. Our crowd was relatively young and Munch’s playlist was perfect for the audience.

They tailored some of the songs to use mine and my husband’s (and my mum’s!) names and that personal touch made us love them even more.

They were FANTASTIC!"

"Nick was really helpful in answering our questions and sending information out even though we were probably asking stupid questions!

Munch were great on the night, everyone loved all the songs and people were dancing all the way through. The idea to have extra mics and instruments was fab too and a couple of our friends were up as much as they could!

Munch made it a party to remember, they were really friendly and coped with the adversity of falling guests! We couldn’t have asked for anymore.

"Munch were excellent but I did feel a little sorry for them as by their second session there were very few people in the room, most had gravitated to the bar outside. Unfortunately, this is typical of this event.

However, Munch did get the dance floor fairly full at one stage which, considering the guests, takes some doing.

"Munch were fantastic and really got everyone at our wedding involved and on the dance floor. Our favourite photos of the whole wedding were those of us, and everyone else, letting go on the dance floor.

The guys from Munch were professional and personable and I can't recommend them highly enough.

The booking though Alive Network was handled faultlessly and with a very personal feel."
Review from Tim Scales 05/01/2011

"Put simply, Munch made our wedding day! Their song choices, their playing, the energy of their performance were all sublime and they were undoubtedly one of the main reasons why the atmosphere at our reception was so electric and why the day was such a huge success. They are all incredibly amiable chaps, which helps, and they were accommodating to our every request, be it songs or performance times, even if this changed on the day itself. All of our guests were gushing with praise for Munch and the impact they had on proceedings. One of the best live bands I have heard anywhere, never mind a wedding!

Alive Network cannot be faulted in the way they dealt with our requests and managed our booking. Their level of service was impeccable and removed any potential for stress in this most important of wedding day decisions.

"Sorry for the delay in writing this – it should no way detract from the delight and absolute satisfaction we had when Munch played at our wedding a few weeks ago.

Believe it, everything said about them – professional, friendly, smart, good musicians, organised – yes, all this and more.

They pitched the night just right, our first dance was great fun, in fact they played it again for us at the end of the night and even kept smiling when a good friend took to the microphone for a couple of songs and we were worried he was hogging their stage.

They really want to make sure you all have a good time – we wish we could rewind and enjoy it all over again! Sue & Dave"

"If you want a party band to get the crowd going then I highly recommend Munch, who played at our wedding reception recently.

Munch are a great band, they make a quick yet accurate assessment of the crowd and provide a playlist to suit, all our guests commented on how great they were.

On a personal level, the band took the time to get to know us and really made us feel special on our big day, they did absolutely everything we asked of them. They enjoy performing and it shows. They sang our first dance song live to the amazement and admiration of our guests.

Great wedding/party band, highly, highly recommended - they made our night.

Lisa & Jon"

"We stretched our budget to book a live band, but Munch were honestly worth every penny. They really made our wedding reception stand out and topped off a fantastic day. Both Munch and Alive Network were very organised and approachable, and happy to be flexible when required.

Munch tailored their set perfectly so that it suited everybody. Their first set was quieter and full of all the old classics, which pleased all the older generation. As the night wore on, they stepped it up with more modern songs and even invited me up to sing a few songs with them. I have never seen so many people dancing and singing along at a wedding before, and every single guest I have spoken to has commented on how good the band were.

I would not hesitate to recommend Munch to anybody looking for a band to play at their wedding. If you are worried that they are too expensive, then sacrifice something else, like the car, flowers or cake. The most important thing is that all the guests have a great night, which is guaranteed with Munch playing.

"From start to finish we found the service provided by Alive Network to be a professional and efficient service.

Our coordinator was friendly, polite, helpful and informative. She contacted us near to the event to ensure we, and the band, had all the information we needed and the level of communicaiotn throughout was high.

Munch themselves were one of the best live bands I have seen for a while, and I have been to many gigs! They too were very friendly, professional, accomodating and created a great vibe throughout the evening. Everyone that attended that evening raved about the band and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

Thank you all that were involved.

"Munch were great, the tracks on the internet and the CD Alive Network provided don't do them justice. The band are all really friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be playing for our wedding.

Alive Network made the booking process really easy; Rebecca was professional and responsive and made everything very clear, I would definitely use Alive Network and Munch again, and would recommend them both to friends."

"Hi Rich and Munch,

Now we are starting to get our feet back on the ground a quick email to follow up after the wedding and say how chuffed we were with the band and their performance. They were punctual, flexible and friendly and most importantly fantastic musicians. As we hoped they really helped to liven up the evening and kept everyone dancing into the wee hours. The atmosphere at the wedding was electrifying – especially the second set - and we have had a lot of very positive feedback from our guests. We were also a lively crew and appreciated the band’s relaxed attitude which meant they were tolerant of guests dancing on the stage with them and even borrowing some of their equipment at times!!!

At a personal level we also really enjoyed talking to the band members who were very polite, interesting and complimentary about how the wedding was going.

A sure bet for a recommendation and a future booking if we ever have the need for a band. Thanks so much to everyone and we hope to pass on any good pictures that we come across if we think the band would be interested in seeing them.

Best wishes for your future work

Jo and Ed Maule

Sorry for delay, been busy getting back to reality after wedding!

I have to say, Munch exceeded our every expectations, I have seen them at 2 weddings previously, but, they certainly saved the best for us!

Nothing was too much trouble, played such a vast range of music that kept the dance floor full all night.

We are so happy we chose Munch, as they made our perfect day even better!!!

Thanks so much!!

We were extremely pleased with Munch. We could not fault anything. They arrived early, were smartly dressed and very polite. The playlist was perfect for the occasion and there performance was outstanding. It really made the night a great success.

Munch were willing to bend over backwards to accommodate mine and all the guests' requests and even organised the first dance twice for me so that we could do our planned dance without Oliver finding out!! I really thank them for that as Oliver had no idea it was happening!"

"We were so delighted with Munch for making our wedding reception such fun. All of our wedding guests commented on how great the band was and a number of them said it was the best wedding band they had ever heard, and we really do have to agree. They were all so friendly and full of energy and there was such a great atmosphere. I think I spent most of the evening on the dance floor.

The music was great and every one of all ages got up for a dance which was just fantastic. They were so accommodating with song requests and it really felt like they were enjoying themselves and enjoying playing for us. We are really delighted that we found them and would definitely recommend Munch to anyone.

I heard nothing but praise for them from all our guests and our friends and family are still talking about how great they were! As well as being fantastic musicians they were all really nice guys - very approachable and they made my night by letting my Dad take over the bass guitar and lead vocals for one song - thanks guys!!

I will definitely be recommending them for future parties/weddings."

"The wedding band was a massive part of our wedding planning, both of us are keen music fans and after hearing the online tracks felt Munch ticked the right boxes.

On the day the band were excellent, arrived very early and did a full set up, think they enjoyed the large stage and lighting and it showed as the performance was excellent, from the first dance to the fourth encore. Allowed one of my ushers to drum for a song!!

Munch kept the atmosphere and tempo very high. Described by many people as “the best wedding band they have ever seen”; and we’d agree.

I know all the feedback you see is always very positive, there is a reason for this – top band, top night – very much recommended.

"We cannot praise Munch highly enough. Right from the outset they were extremely friendly, approachable and responsive to our requirements. Sadly during the reception my father was taken ill and hospitalised, this meant that the order of the day had to be adjusted. The band was very understanding and sensitive to the situation.

We have had great feedback from a number of guests about the band. They kept everyone up and dancing and were a big part in creating a fantastic atmosphere. I will not forget my moment of stardom when i joined the band to sing 'daydream believer'.

We would highly recommend Munch, they are extremely professional and such genuinely friendly guys as well as being awesome musicians.

They are very talented musicians and know how to keep a party going. We must blame them for neglecting our guests as the music was so good we just had to keep dancing!

"We had an absolutely fantastic day made even more special by Munch, right from the start they got everybody up and dancing. We really didn't want the night to end, just wish we could find another reason to book them.

After a bad experience with another agency, our concern was efficient service. But with Alive Network we enquired on the website one evening and received a call from Rebecca by 9am the following day. Great service. 11 out of 10!

"We wanted a band that could entertain us and our guests at our wedding and we knew from previous experience that Munch fit the bill! Not only did they meet our expectations they exceded them playing great sets and keeping the dance floor packed from start to finish.

We had a wide age range to please from 3 - 75 and I know for a fact that there were a lot of sore people the next day from all the dancing which just about says it all. The danceflor was packed from start to finish and if we ever have cause to have party of this scale in the future we would be very disappointed if we couldn't get Munch as the entertainment.

We can't thank them enough - please pass this on to them."

"Munch were excellent. They were professional throughout and were very flexible in their play lists and play times depending on circumstances. The variety of music played was wide which allowed all guests to enjoy the music regardless of age. They even accomodated guests getting up to sing with them. I would recommend Munch to anyone who is looking for a band.

Alive Network were very helpful in booking the band and provided a professional service. Highly recommended.

They got everyone dancing from the first song and then throughout the night. The music they played pleased all guests both young and old, interaction with the guests was outstanding, especially with the guests singing on the stage.

Alive Network were brilliant, making sure that we had all the details we required putting us at ease during a rather stressful time. Many guests commented that they would definitely be looking at booking Munch for their weddings, anniversaries etc. - I know that we will as they were brilliant and many thanks for a brilliant night.

Just a quick email to say how fabulous Munch were at our wedding on the 26th July!

I haven’t done the official feedback form but I will as soon as I have a spare minute.

The guys were all lovely and the music was fab – loads of people have asked us where we booked them and everyone really enjoyed it. It was great to be able to get up and sing with them and James, my lovely husband, surprised me with a drumming session with the band – how fantastic!

Thanks again for all your help and please pass on my thanks to the band – should we ever have another big part we would love to book them again!

They made our evening so amazing and we loved the range of songs they performed. The dance floor was never empty! We keep getting fantastic comments from our guests and they have been enquiring about where we booked them. Munch were really accommodating to our guests and their varied musical tastes. A real highlight was them allowing our bridesmaid to join in with you- she loved every minute!!

A big thank you again. We're already thinking of an excuse for a party to hire them again!!

"Hi Nick,

I just want to say a huge thank you to all your help and advice when it came to choosing our band.

Where do I start? Munch were unreal: super friendly blokes got on with everyone as soon as they arrived they came and found Rich and I they were really professional yet really down to earth; it was like having some more of the lads at the party.

They played all night and I'm sure we got more than we paid for. It was excellent. We have had so many compliments about Munch and people have asked for your details.

I will be booking Munch again for any other big dos - they were worth every penny and more.

Any bride and groom worried about a party getting going, need not worry if they book Munch. Our dance floor was full from the first dance until well after midnight, people were still dancing as munch were packing up.

My husband and a group of friends got up on stage which Munch encouraged it and seemed to really enjoy it too.

I will send you a few pictures to give to Munch. They were absolutely brilliant and all I can say is anyone looking for a nightclub party atmoshphere they will not disappoint.

Fab.

Love
Clare Palfrey"

"We had never used Alive Network before or heard our band play but they were very good at addressing our questions and concerns. On the day Munch were fantastic - really nice people, easy to get on with, and playing great music. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who likes this kind of music.

"We are very satisfied and impressed with the quality of the services provided by the Alive Network and Munch. We found it difficult and quite stressful to find an artist that would meet our expectations at an affordable price. These stresses were allieviated when we found Munch on Alive Network.

Alive Network seemed and proved to be a reliable agency giving us peace of mind and an opportunity to focus on other matters regarding our wedding preparations.

Munch was the best choice and was one of the highlights of our wedding reception. We were constantly asked about where we found Munch. Everybody enjoyed dancing until the very end of our reception and we hope the band enjoyed it as much as we did!

Overall, the perfomance was brilliant and we would definitely recommend Munch and Alive Network to others.

Thank you!"

"The band were brilliant. They were friendly and polite and made an incredible impact. We were limited on space so could only have a small band, but they made a great noise. The best wedding band we have ever heard! Based on this experience I would not hesitate to use a band through alive network, despite having not seen them live before."

"Munch provided us with truly excellent, chilled out and professional music at our wedding - the number of compliments we had on the night and since from our guests confirm that we made the right choice for our entertainment.

The guys were flexible and very approachable, and got on well with our guests. True to previous feedback they had, everyone (even the older generation) were partying until the early hours with their great renditions of popular songs. I hope that Robin has since forgiven me for making the worst attempt at drumming in the history of music! I would definitely recommend Munch to anyone looking for good value for money, great entertainment."

"Dear James, Gemma, Rich and all the guys of Munch.

Thank you to Alive network for responding to our queries so efficiently. Your professionalism helped to put our worries to rest.

Also, our initial concerns about never seeing the band before booking them disappeared the moment they arrived at our wedding venue. I spoke to the guys as they were setting up and they all seemed genuinely enthusiastic, polite and had a great sense of humour. They started with our first song and from then to the end of the night the dance floor was never empty. Somehow they seemed to cater for all tastes and I even saw my wife’s mother dancing, which even my wife has never seen before! Audience participation was encouraged, and enjoyed, although I’m not sure what the guys made of my four auntie's Status Quo routine though…

So thank you to Munch for a fantastic performance and I would highly recommend them to anybody.

Best wishes

"Munch are an amazing band with an appeal to all, perfect for a wedding where all ages need to be catered for.

They performed well and were very flexible, playing anything that was asked for.

The dance floor was full from the moment they began playing until they finished at the end of the night. It took me 2 weeks to recover from dancing all night.

This was the second time I had booked them and when we have another big ‘party’ or event, I will book them again."
Review from Mr Danielczuk 12/05/2009

"We really wanted to send you an email to tell you about the night and more importantly how amazing the band were! I was really excited to finally meet the guys and to hear them play and needless to say we were not disappointed. They kick started the night after our first dance and got the party really going! It was fantastic!! I didn’t get chance to get round and see people as I was glued to the dance floor.....mind you a lot of our guests were up and dancing too so I kind of socialised!! The floor was filled all night, in fact it only emptied once and that was when the band took a break to eat!! Then it was full again till the end of the night! They were fab..all of our guest kept asking us where we found them and what a good find it was!

The guys got on really well with our family and friends in fact I think I caught my dad having a sneaky pint with them during the break and discussing rock gods like Hendrix?! And my other half was dead impressed when one of the guys was able to quote and sing most of the soundtrack from the Labyrinth (my other half is a huge Bowie fan so he was well impressed!!)

The highlight for me was how they made our guest feel, my “husband” (got to get used to calling him this!!) played guitar in a band during his college days and has become rather shy about playing in front of people, even me, so when he and his mate got up and played “Johnny B Goode” the room rippled with cheers and screams!! A moment I will never forget! He didn’t stop there, the band encouraged him to go on so he continued to sing “Song 2” and in the end we dueted to our song “Hey Ya”.

We both highly recommend Much for anyone who is up for a party and a lively atmosphere! It was an amazing night, one I wish never had to end.

A huge thankyou to the band and to Gemma for helping us along with our booking and to find Munch. We had the best day ever!

If we ever have another occasion to plan for you can guarantee we will be back to book Munch!

Thanks again!

Best regards

Mr and Mrs Hockley!!

A note to say what a brilliant job Munch did at our wedding this New Year's Eve. The band were fantastic and we have had so many compliments from our guests – everyone had a great time!

We really enjoyed their repertoire and all our guests were up dancing for the majority of the evening – young and old. The band were also really flexible and met all our requests on what kind of music we like (and don’t like!) and encouraged audience participation.

As well as being very talented musicians and performers, the guys are also lots of fun and know how to make sure the audience enjoy themselves.

Thanks again.

Huge apologies for my tardiness in responding. I just wanted to say that I thought that Munch were fantastic, they lived up to all the great reviews and truly made our wedding. Shame that our wedding dance didn't quite live up to the music!

We had loads of compliments from friends about how good they were and they just have a knack of catering for the party. Amazing how they manage to cover such a range of music tastes so brilliantly.

So all good from me and my husband Henning.

Sorry for being so late, we've both been very busy and to be honest I missed this email when it first came through.

"Munch were fantastic at our wedding and the dancefloor was full throughout their sets. We were delighted with their attitude on the evening, before they started playing they discussed everything with us and fitted in all of our requests particularly our love of the Beatles. Their musical performance was brilliant and they played loud enough for the dancefloor to jump around to Nirvana and the Killers but not so loud as to stop other guests from talking. The venue management complimented the band on their professional approach and we felt that we received the same level of service from Alive Network as well. If you like this band's set list (a mix of 60s to modern rock) then you will love this band!"

Munch were a great band to have at our wedding. I was concerned as we could only book them on the basis of the write up and hearing their stuff on the website. But they were all we hoped for. They were great with the guests, especially the kids (I had quite a few) and overall did a brilliant job.

I would definitely use them again if I had the opportunity and would recommend them to anyone who asked.

Yes munch were fantastic thanks - they really made the party! Everyone thought they were great and it was the best party they'd been to in ages!

In terms of songs they were all great and we really appreciated them learning some new songs for us.

I would most definitely recommend munch in the future, although I don't think anyone has any specific parties at the moment.

I've already spoken to mike to thank him personally as they really were great - despite the long trek to get to us in scotland! They were more than happy for some of us to accost the stage and sing with them, and played a great range of music from 60s to modern which catered for the oldies and us younger ones!

Thanks so much again, sure we'll be in touch for the future,

"Munch exceeded all our expectations. They are personable, friendly and professional. They made our wedding party special, even managing to get our photographs projected onto the rear of the stage through their projector. They also let me sing to the bride! and assisted in my brother also playing on stage (pianist). They blend classic party hits with modern music seemlessly and nothing was too much trouble - in fact they were willing to adapt their set to our suggestions. Quite simply brilliant. Thanks MUNCH!!!! We will certainly look you up for future parties/ events!!"

"Hi Paul,

What can I say? Munch were absolutely brilliant. Turned out that that my brother (best man) knew a few of the lads from the band from playing in Liverpoool. They went down a storm and I would highly recommend them to anyone for such a celebration. They were easy going and helpful with any requests and actively encouraged and supported my wifes brother who joined them on stage for a tune. The day after the wedding I spoke to the hotel manager, bar staff and wedding coordinator who said that Munch were the best band that had played in the hotel for the last three years!!!! Not a bad compliment considering that they have on average 90 weddings per year!!!! Please send the lads my thanks once

The service offered by Alive Network was fantastic, as usual. The people at Alive Network are always so helpful, quick to respond and friendly and I won’t hesitate to use Alive Network again (in fact, I’ve got another enquiry running already).

Many thanks. We had a wonderful day and the entertainment was fantastic and worth every penny.

Charlotte (Sax Girl) played beautifully and was very accommodating moving between the gardens and the bar area. Her music helped to create a lovely atmosphere and I would thoroughly recommend her

Munch were absolutely fantastic - I can't praise them enough. There was a bit of a technical hitch at the start with the sound which meant they started a little later than hoped but they more than made up for it throughout the rest of the evening. They knew just how to get everyone up on the dance floor and created an amazing atmosphere - our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them. By the end of the night the dance floor was completely full with guests of all ages dancing and having a brilliant time - just what we hoped for! So many of our guests commented the next day on how great the band was and how it really made the evening, especially the girls who ended up joining them as backing singers and on the drums! In addition, they were a great group of blokes, really cheerful and accommodating and they looked like they were having a great time too. We highly recommend them to anyone considering a band for their wedding.

Please feel free to use any of these comments on your website. Also, I must add thank you to you Gemma for all your help in arranging our entertainment. You have answered all of my queries promptly and professionally and helped to reassure me that we were booking a professional service. I would definitely use Alive Network again for any entertainment needs

On the day we were extremely impressed with their talent and so were lots of our guests. Even my 86 year old grandad who hates live bands and loud music thought they were fabulous!

We would like to thank the band for being so friendly and helpful to us and all our guests. Especially thank you for them putting up with our drunken best man who sang with them for most of the night!

The band (Munch) were truly fantastic, their playing was excellent - their set was longer than we expected (a good thing) and they had a packed out dancefloor for the whole evening, which included the bride and groom for most of it. We both felt that the band made the evening part of our wedding work really well and can report back that we had an excellent time dancing away to their set...nearly all of our guests were on the dancefloor most of the time, thanks to their varied and well put together set...not a single 'dud' song in there. I would happily pay to see Munch play again and they really excelled as a wedding band - engaging the guests and clearly enjoying themselves. Sorry to go on about it, but they really were that good!

Thanks for your help with sorting our entertainment out.

Well we absolutely loved the band. Not only were they a great bunch of guys, but they were very talented, and they played a wonderful mix of music. The sound levels were just perfect, and we had a lot of great comments from our guests. The first dance was brilliant, and everyone danced a lot after that, and they formed a good bond with the crowd. It was also brilliant that one of my best men was allowed to get up and use one of their guitars to perform a song. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others, or even hire them again myself for another function.

Please pass on mine and Alison's thanks to them for a brilliant night, and also thanks to you and Pete for organising it.

Lastly, they took a photo of us and the band, and we'd love to get a copy of it is that is possible?

"Dear Nick,

Sorry we haven’t got back to you sooner as we went on Honeymoon the day after the wedding and have just got back to normality.

We would like to convey our enthusiastic thanks to you and Munch. We hadn’t booked entertainment before and you guys made it really easy and worry free.

Munch turned up on time and were able to set up and sound check with no disruption to the wedding breakfast which was great considering the venue was compact and the room for the evening do was adjacent. So with our criteria met, Munch just had to come up to expectation and we have to say they exceeded it considerably.

All our family and friends loved the great mix of music played and the dance floor was filled to brimming most of the time. Many Uncles and Aunts were up dancing for the first time in decades and we couldn’t drag Grandma off the dance floor at one point which was amazing for an octogenarian.

Family folklore has it that when I was young I cried because I didn’t want my uncles wedding to end and he confided in me he almost cried when the band stopped playing.
At the end nobody wanted them to stop playing they were fantastic.

Many thanks Munch and Alive Network for providing top notch entertainment at our wedding. We’ll never forget it.

All the best

We also have to thank them for learning the music for our first dance. They were easy to talk to and nothing was too much for them to do. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Thanks again,

James and Julia"

"Hi Tony,

I remembered how useful we found other people's comments when we were choosing the band for our wedding on the 27th Aug 07. Also I wanted to say a proper thank you to Munch.

My wife and I have some excellent memories from Munch's performance, and I knew we'd made the right choice of band when
a) they helped us to make a great choice of first song...something we'd been struggling with, and
b) when the lead guitarist ran through the crowd a few songs in (thanks to a wireless guitar), disappeared out of the room and reappeared from another door....all while playing a guitar solo....great fun!

Among these many memories was turning around to see my 72 year old Dad 'pogo-ing' to Nirvana alongside me....now if Munch's performance inspired even a small part of that, they were worth every penny!!

Also, unbeknown to me, one of our young guests had learned to play Guns N Roses' 'Sweet child of mine' specially for the day. Munch didn't need to be asked twice before he had one of their electric guitars in his hand and he was playing a faultless rendition accompanied by the band beaming all the while - a memory both he and the rest of us will treasure for a long time to come.

Myself and a few others wanted to get up on stage and sing......guess what....that was no bother either! After we'd exhausted ourselves (and our audience), we finally surrendered the stage with nothing but encouragement from Munch throughout our wailings! Really making it feel like our night.

At the end of the night Munch were even kind enough to make a gift to one of my youngest relatives... it was a rattle that they'd given him earlier in the evening to bash to the music as he was dancing - just nice guys!

I'd better stop now before I give away any more of Munch's stage secrets......... but I'll just end on saying if you're looking for a trouble free day, where the band is happy to fit around you and let you feel special, I think you'd be pleased you chose Munch.

Thanks to Munch, and thanks to you Tony and Pete from Alive Network for helping us to make the right decision....great band!

Best regards

Pete"

"Mary,

First of all thank you for your congratualtions on our wedding, it was certainly a day to remember.

Munch's performance was above and beyond the call of duty. Everyone enjoyed every single song. They indulged the groom in his rock star aspirations and let him a sing a number of our favourite tracks. After the party, they played an acoustic session in the bar with the groom playing lead singer and me, my mum and maid of honour as back up singers. We are originally from both Birkenhead and Liverpool and had connections with the band, one went to school with my new brother-in-law. We had hours of fun that carried on into the early hours and I hope they remember us as much as we will remember how special they made our day.

Also I would like to thank you and Pete for the professional way you handled the pre booking contract and staying in constant contact with the hotel.

Would book Munch again without any hesitation and will be recommending them to my friends. My only criticism is that they are too good for playing wedding parties and should be up there rivalling the likes of the Verve - who we are going to see tomorrow in Glasgow, lets see how they compare?!

"Hi Pete

I would be grateful if you could pass on my sincere thanks to Munch for such a great performance at our Annual Ball. Their timekeeping was superb, their sets varied and interesting, the dance floor was packed most of the time and the guests were left clamouring for more! They are obviously very talented musicians with many years of experience behind them and the provision of appropriate backing music for the meal was a bonus.

Highly recommended, thanks guys, I hope to work with you again.

"Tony,
Just a short note following the appearance of Munch at the weekend at our 40th birthday party. They were EXCELLENT, did just what they said on the tin and certainly lived up to the references on you website from other people. So many people on the night said to me what a great band they were and commented on their ability just to play one good song after another. They certainly had a knack of just picking exactly the right stuff to play. During their last set, the place was absolutely jumping which was exactly what we wanted. The guys really contributed to the night for which I would ask that you pass on our thanks again to them.

If I had one criticism...the CD and clips on your website don't do them justice!!

Thanks also to you guys for the organising. It was all excellent.

Please pass this on to Munch.

Regards
Dan"

"Hi Seth,

A massive thank you to you and the band - they were fantastic and really really friendly and professional. They arrived on time and kept a steady flow of people on the dancefloor, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Dealing with Alive Network has also been a pleasure - I was always kept up to date, emails always answered promptly (thank you!) and contact was made at all the right times.

I will definitely recommend you to others!

Thanks again,
Anna"

The wedding went remarkly well without incident. Both our bookings went really well. ... . The stars of the day though, were Munch. They were absolutely fabulous. They interacted well with our guests and really seemed to be enjoying themselves in the process. Everyone commented what a brilliant band they were. So thank you very much for organising them both for me.

Kind Regards

"Hi Gemma,

Vicky and I had a fantastic weekend thanks. It couldn't have gone any better and we're certain to have fantastic memories for years and years.

Munch were great, really nice guys and kept everyone dancing from start to finish. They were also accommodating, with our slightly late start...with speeches running on! They also put the finishing touch to my ideal wedding by letting me play some guitar with them (and helping me sound half decent!)
All in all the guys were great musicians, very professional, charismatic and I would definitely recommend them.

Thanks very much

Kind Regards

Thanks for your email

Please can you give Munch a huge thank you for playing at our wedding reception on 24th August.

They were absolutely brilliant and everyone that came to the reception has commented how good the band were. Unfortunately we did not get to see them the next morning to say thanks in person so please could you pass on our thanks.

I would recommend them to anyone that wants a superb band for a great party occasion!

Thanks again

"Hi Pete,
Thank you for your email - just back from the honeymoon but wanted to make a point of contacting you.

Munch were fantastic!!!

They played our first dance so brilliantly and from that moment the dancefloor was mobbed, and remained so for the whole night!!!
They did gauge the audience very well and were also happy to play requests. The guests ranged from 17 to 87 years old and the much over used cliche 'there was something for everyone' was absolutely pertinent.
We all loved their range of tracks and artists and when they played their last song there was almost a riot!! Much begging ensued, until they agreed to play one more!
They were professional, friendly and approachable and I am delighted that I stumbled across your website.
So many of the little details that you consider when planning a wedding, (flowers, table decs, favours etc..) go largely unnoticed but when you have a great band with great songs THAT is really what people remember. One of our happiest memories of the day was seeing all our friends and families dancing together.

So please, please pass on mine and Alistair's thanks and praises to the band. I think they're aware of what a big success they were as they were approached by many (sober and merry) guests on the night and told as much.

Finally thanks to you Pete, for your professional approach which gave me total confidence that everything would be great... and it was!

Many thanks
Marie and Alistair Hunter.x"

HI Paul

Thanks - we had a wonderful time thanks! Thank you for recommending Munch they were excellent!

I am going to write to the guys as well but here are our comments for your site!

- 5 star...

We are just back from Honeymoon and firstly BIG thanks to the guys from Munch. We had a delayed start due to an electricity issue... but Munch were absolutely excellent and accommodating. They had the whole party on the dance floor! When the interval came everyone was asking 'where have the band gone are they coming back as they are great!!!' Even one of our guests who is 94 even said the music was wonderful and missed it when the music stopped!!

One of my best memories is seeing my husband shaking a tambourine to 'Mr Tambourine Man', him singing with the band to The Proclaimers 500 miles and just everyone dancing and having great fun! Munch were warm, friendly and really got the party part of our wedding going. We would definitely bear them in mind for other events - not just weddings and certainly recommend them. Also thanks to Alive Entertainment for recommending them...!

Thanks once again

Sherryll and I would just like to pass on our thanks to Munch for a great evening! I would heartily recommend them to anybody, infact i believe some friends who enjoyed our Wedding wish to book them for their Wedding party next year!!!!. They are such a friendly group of guys as well which is always so important at these type of events. The standard of musicianship was faultless and this came across in the professional high energy delivery of all the songs they performed.

We sincerely cannot thank them enough.

Thanks again.

Munch were brilliant. Really friendly and they put on a great performance for us. We had lots of excellent comments after the party. Their choice of music was excellent with something for everyone and with their backing music in between their live sessions it saved us the cost of a DJ as well.

Would certainly have no reservations about recommending Munch and Alive Network to anyone asking.

Thanks a lot

"James - yes Munch were superb!!!!!
Despite some major motorway problems on that night, they all made it in time, and sounded superb!

Not only were the guys really pleasant, friendly and very talented, but they were flexible as well, as we had some guests who had been stuck in traffic and so we wanted to re-jig the night a little.

I would gladly book them again! (they got the least twinkle-toed dancing that night). I especially liked their coldplay bit - superb voices!

Thanks also to alivenetwork, for helping us find somebody just right!

All in all we had a super night, and would strongly recommend, Munch and indeed alivenetwork (I have passed details on to one or two friends who asked for them after the night)

Thanks

"I'd like to thank you very much for your help in organising Munch.

Munch are a great bunch of lads and they really made our wedding party go with a bang, they had a really professional attitude and managed to make everyone relaxed and the dance floor was never empty. They were very friendly and accommodating, nothing was a problem for them.

Their ability as musicians was outstanding, the songs they played seemed to be everyones favourites and they managed to get the balance just right between keeping the feel of the original song and adding in there own personalities.

Most importantly they were up for a laugh and they kept all our guests entertained and amused all night, we had loads of compliments about the band and enquiries of where we found them. We can't thank them enough for creating the perfect atmosphere and also for letting me have a go on the guitar to play a song and surprise all the guests (and also for making me sound a lot better than I actually am!).

We are now trying to think of any excuse to have another party so we can book Munch again."

"Munch were excellent - exactly what we'd hoped for and really made our
wedding go with a swing (and a bang and a rock and a roll). Their playlist
was very broad and got everyone dancing for most of the night. I got the
impression that they adapted it on the fly to make sure that everyone had a
great time. Lots of people commented on how good the band were which really
made it a key part of the wedding rather than just being backing music.

Technically they are very good musicians and the band themselves come across
as really decent guys who enjoyed the evening as much as our guests. They
also made sure that the audience got involved - tambourines for the kids who
were promptly incorporated as backing percussion and encouraging the kids to
play drum and guitar solos! The band weren't at all precious about their
kit, they just wanted to make sure that everyone had a superb time - which
they did

Would definitely book Munch again and encourage anyone to book them - you
won't be disappointed"

""Munch were a fantastic choice for our Spring Ball at The Moat House, stepping in at the last minute they were friendly and helpful throughout the night and then played a fantastic set to round off a brilliant night. As I walked around the marquee I was repeatedly stopped with compliments for the band, it was a large venue and they filled the dancefloor within seconds of starting. We will definitely book the lads again."

"Hi Martyn,

This is a very very delayed response... Munch played at our wedding last year and they were totally fantastic. I have always intended to write to say thanks and give them a glowing review... but time passes so quick.

James and I were married 3rd Septmeber last year and held a fantastic reception in a marquee on my Uncles farm at Copston Magna in the Midlands. The band were very friendly, professional and made sure the evening really went with a swing. They were brilliant - excellent musicians with the ability to keep people dancing all night long. It was even hard to get my 2 year old niece off the dancefloor!

Never in my life would I have imagined my Mum and Dad moshing to Nirvana's Teen Spirit gone midnight. They even let my two friends get up and sing a number!
So many people said after the event they thought the band were superb - a great choice for our wedding... Thanks so much please please pass on my comments and apologies for such a delayed email.

Kind regards,
Ruth and James Feltham."

The band, they are fantastic! They immediately set the standard from the first contact telephone call to the final evening. They were prompt, interested and most of all seemed to care about how the night went. All our freinds and family loved the fact that we had "live" music and enjoyed the varied syles of music and adaptability to even take on a few extra backing singers! Would we use them again or recommend them?............ Without a doubt!!!!!!!

Thanks again to all of you."

We had a really good night and are so glad that we chose Munch as the band.

Munch were excellent. Mike and the guys did a superb job of entertaining the kids - and we have the video to prove it ;-) Their sets were perfect for the occasion, and while not everyone was in the mood to dance (too much free beer in the other room I think!), those that did were very complementary.

We all had a great time, and the kids especially. Please pass on our thanks and regards to Munch for a job well done.

Regarding the organisation - as this was my first attempt at booking a band I found the whole experience very straight forward thanks to your easy to follow and efficient support. If I ever have occasion to book a band again I will certainly be in touch.

Thanks to Alive Network for arranging the band 'Munch' on Saturday 20th August at Portmeirion.

Munch were absolutely fantastic and were great value for money.

We really enjoyed the music that they played and the quality of their performance.

We have had lots of positive comments back from wedding guests on how good they were and how much they enjoyed the evening (these include very positive comments from friends who have played in bands and performed in public).

We gave the lads very positive feedback at the time but please pass on our comments and thanks again.

"We booked Munch +1 for our wedding on 2nd July and just wanted to say what a fantastic time we all had.

Originally we wanted a Beatles tribute but on chatting to the band we decided on Beatles music for the first set and a mixture the rest of the time; it was perfect. They were happy to play requests and were able to cater for everyone; their play list is that extensive.

One thing we specifically asked them to do was play some of the songs they had written themselves; they didn’t do many but what they did was brilliant and drew a lot of attention and interest. I know many people just want to hear the things they know but I would urge anyone thinking of booking them to invite them to play a few of their own.

All the guys were friendly and approachable and Mike especially was great to talk to on the run up to the wedding, nothing was too much trouble.

We have just one thing to say to anyone looking for a funky, friendly young band; BOOK MUNCH!

I’d like to thank you also for your help in arranging the booking; you made it all very easy.
