"We
were delighted to have Livewire perform at our Black and White Ball at
the
InterContinental Hotel in August.
Colin
MacDonald was our contact for the band and he was totally professional
and
extremely helpful. We had not organised
an event of this size before and his input was much appreciated. He met us at the hotel several times to
consider staging and sound requirements in the Ballroom, and to discuss
our
format and expectations for the Ball.
Nothing was too much trouble and we kept in regular contact by
email
prior to the night.
On
the night they were fantastic. From the
first song they played the dance floor was packed.
The music Livewire played was ideal for our
guests; everyone knew the songs, danced, sang and had a wonderful time. They were so good we persuaded the hotel to
extend their curfew and the band played for another half hour! Several guests asked for the Bands contact
details because they were so impressed they wanted to book them!
I
would highly recommend Livewire to anyone who wants to book an
accomplished,
polished and professional band to ensure the success of their event.
"One thing that helped
put Mum's mind at ease was coming with us to see them play live at a
pub in Mana a couple of times. I would recommend doing this if
you have the chance as hearing them live is a completely different
experience to listing to them online.
Ok so how did it
all go? They were FANTASTIC! To give you an idea we had
approximately 100 guests of varied ages and it had been a long day so
lots of people were pretty tired by the time 9.30pm rolled around (in
fact we actually ran a bit late and I don't think the band started
until 10'ish). My parents and I have been to a few weddings and
often you find that once the music starts a hard core group get up and
dance and might stay dancing for the night but a huge majority also end
up sitting around at tables trying to talk over the music or they head
off home after the first few songs. We were really impressed that
the majority of our guests got up and stayed up dancing for the entire
time!! Livewire played a good mix of songs that everybody loved
and Colin's interaction with the crowd was really good. We'd sent
him a small briefing so he knew the key people on the night (e.g.
parents, siblings, close friends) and he was able to incorporate this
into his banter and their song list which worked well."
A groom's comments this time......
"Livewire were
absolutely brilliant and we would've had 30 -
40 people telling us how awesome they were the next day. They seriously
understand how to read a crowd too and kept things cranking on the
dancefloor with
some great numbers from all eras and musical genres. A very tight and
clearly
very talented band, I'd recommend Livewire to anyone without any
reservations
whatsoever."
