• Hi Faye!

  Hope you¹re well. Can I just say again how great you guys were at our
  wedding! You keep the dance floor full all night and capped the perfect
  day for us.

  I was wondering if you still had a record of the set list you played? I¹d
  love a copy to keep as a reminder if you do!

  All the best

• Livewire were absolutely fantastic. If you could pass on our thanks to Faye and all the band we’d be really grateful. They really got the party going and made our night very special. All our guests were absolutely blown away by Faye’s voice – she definitely had a bit of a fan club!

  We had actually seen the band perform at our friends’ wedding a few years ago, and we’ll definitely recommend them to others in the future who might be looking for a wedding band. Absolutely worth it!

  Rob & Zoe Walker - Wylam Brewery - 24th March 2018

• Sorry for the delay but just wanted to say a huge huge thank you to you and the band for being so wonderful at our wedding! Having seen you a few times before we knew you were fab anyway, but so many guests have commented also!

  Keep doing what you're doing - you make a wonderful band and know how to put on a fantastic performance!

  Rachel and Richard Savage - Healey Barn - 23rd September 2017

• Hi Faye,
  Lucy and I just wanted to say a massive thank you for what can only be described as an amazing performance from Livewire on our wedding day! All the way from kicking off straight after the first dance (everyone storming the dance floor was exactly what we'd hoped for!) to the very end. You and the band were brilliant and it was the perfect party, we were so happy we picked you. Everyone has commented on how good the music was, it was most of our guests' favourite part of the day.
  Thanks again!

  Happy New Year to you and so sorry that this email is late!

  I'm just emailing to say a HUGE thank you to you and the band for playing at the wedding. You were amazing, so many people have said the same and you totally made the night do. I will be recommending you left, right and centre.

• Hi Faye,

  We just wanted to say a huge thanks to yourself and the band for
  last Saturday.

  We honestly loved every minute but looking back,
  especially on the evening, the dance floor was going crazy whilst you
  guys were playing.

  I hadn't been to a wedding like that before, all
  credit to you guys! The guests have all been very complimentary also.

  Hope you all enjoyed it and didn't get any hassle !

  Thanks again,

  Andrew & Natalie

• Hi Mick

  I just wanted to give a review of Livewire who played at our wedding last week at Brinkburn Priory.

  The band and Faye were amazing on the night, the songs they played were fantastic and everyone was up dancing from start to finish!

  They played our first dance, a song we had asked them to play, which made it really personal to us.

  Faye was a brilliant support throughout the process of booking the band and Andy Usher.

  She provided advice on song choices to set the mood and was always available. I would not hesitate to recommend Livewire and AMV to anyone for a wedding or party!

  Thanks again

• Just wanted to say thank you for the amazing performance from Livewire at our wedding in October last year.

  You were fantastic and everyone was up dancing, we have had so many compliments since about just how good you were.

  The first dance song was amazing too, I actually think I liked it more than the original!!

  Thanks again!

• Hi Mick

  Sorry for the delay it's been a busy couple of months, but better late than never!

  Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Livewire for playing at our wedding at Newton Hall in August.

  They were absolutely fantastic and I've never danced so much! All of the guests commented on how brilliant they were and the highlight of everyone's night was the two renditions of Rolling On The River when the dance floor was packed full with my cousin leading a zumba line dance!

  Amazing day and night and the most fantastic band.

  Thanks also to Mick and AMV who made the booking process so easy.

• Hi Faye,

  I hope you are well.

  I just wanted to write a quick note to say a massive "THANK YOU!!!" to you and the rest of the band for everything on Saturday night.

  Everyone's commented on how good you all were and I'm sure you could probably see for yourself what a good time everyone was having!

  Thanks too for making Dave's live performing dreams come true as well :)

  Thanks again, you were all great and thanks for putting up with my groomzilla requests!

  Kind regards,

• We just want to say a massive thank you to AMV Live Music for all of your assistance in organising our big day and an even bigger thank you to LiveWire for performing. The first dance was amazing, as was every song after that.

  Everyone has said what a truly awesome night it was and it was all thanks to you! We can't say how grateful we are to you all!

  Hope to see you again soon!

• Andy,

  Just a quick one to say thank you for yesterday! You were amazing and our guests were raving about you! I guess the chants of "we want more" told you that though. Faye is truly special as well and I can't imagine anyone would be disappointed with the new line up! My only complaint is that you're not on for longer! It went far too quick!!

  An amazing day was topped off by an amazing band,

  Thanks again,

  Danielle Pigott - Livewire - Doxford Hall, 5th July 2014

• Livewire performed at our wedding evening on Saturday 28th June 2014 at The Alnwick Gardens in Northumberland and what can I say.....AMAZING!!!!

  From the get go they had everyone on their feet dancing. All the members of the band were outstanding and lead singer Faye has the most incredible voice.

  Anyone can plan the perfect wedding or have the most amazing venue but it's all about the atmosphere and making sure everyone enjoys themselves and you can't plan that......but Livewire helped us achieve that by making the atmosphere ELECTRIC everyone left with smiles on their faces and didn't want the night to end.

  Thankyou Livewire you are most highly recommend xxx

  Kellie and Jamie Redman - Alnwick Gardens - 28th June 2014

• I booked Livewire through AMV Live Music for my mum’s 60th and I am so glad I did, they absolutely made the party, they had all ages up and dancing and really got the party going.

  My mum loves Lionel Richie and they managed to play and dedicate to her a Lionel song off the cuff without rehearsing it which by far was her best part of the day.

  Each person at the party commented on how great they were and they were all right, Karen is an amazing singer and the band was fantastic. All in all a great day plus the weather held out for us to.

  Thanks again to Mick and Livewire for making this a party to remember.

• I just wanted to get in touch to say how fantastic the band were at our wedding.

  The first dance was just perfect and the whole set really did make our night!

  We had so many people tell us how fantastic you were and we couldn't agree more.

  Thanks again.

• Hi Mick,
  Mike and I (and my Mum) were at As You Like It on Friday night and saw Livewire. We thought they were fantastic, as you said, and we definitely want to book them for our wedding on 20th August. The female vocalist was very soulful and the guys voices were great, it will definitely give us a really wide choice for a playlist.

• Charlie and I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Livewire for playing at our wedding at Kirkley Hall on June 21st and for all of AMV's help in the run up to the day.

  Livewire were sensational! We have received so many comments from guests saying how amazing the band were, and it’s no surprise you received chants of we want more at the end of the evening Andy!

  The dance floor was full from start to finish and we loved seeing all our guests up dancing and having a great time. It made it such a special and memorable evening.

  We’d thoroughly recommend booking Livewire for any wedding or event!

  Thank you again to all the band. Obviously we live in London but we’re already following your updates on Facebook and hope to be able to make it to one of your upcoming gigs when we’re back sometime soon!

  Thanku so much, everyone said how fantastic it was. Great to see everyone up and dancing and having such a fab time.

  Again a massive thank you

  Kindest regards

• We just wanted to send a quick note of thanks to Livewire for being such a fantastic band for our wedding at Middleton Lodge on 1st February.

  They were sensational, and all of our guests commented on how great the music was - it really helped to make the evening fun and memorable and the dance floor was constantly full! I have recommended the group to at least 3 other couples so far!

  Please pass on our thanks to the whole band for everything, we couldn't have asked for anything more!

  Johanna Bennett - Middleton Lodge - 1st February 2014

• Hi Andy

  I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and the band you were all amazing! Loved the piano and trumpet at the wedding reception too!

  Hope you all enjoyed the day, we've only just recovered!!

  Thanks again

• Dear Mick & Andy,

  In case you hadn’t guessed on the night, Amy and I were absolutely delighted with everything that you guys, the guys in Livewire and the Armstrong String Quartet did for our wedding. It was an absolutely superb day and we’ve had so many compliments on the music – particularly Livewire on the evening.

  Everyone we’ve spoken to have said that the band was one of the best – if not THE best – they’ve ever seen at a wedding and I honestly don’t think our dance floor emptied once.

  Karen absolutely NAILED our first dance and made it very memorable for me.

  I really hope all the Livewire guys enjoyed themselves – Andy, you were absolutely superb on the night – and again, I’d just like to say a massive THANK YOU from both Mrs Coates and myself. You played a massive, positive part in making our day very memorable. I’ve had several comments about how people have never seen me dance so much, so you were obviously doing something right because I wasn’t even that drunk!

  Cheers.

  Me and the Wife!

  Michael & Amy Coates - Walworth Hall

• Andy,

  I have been meaning to e-mail you to thank AMV, Livewire and the String Quartet so much for being part of our Wedding on 3rd August. It really made our day!

  We have had so many positive comments about Livewire and the string quartet from our guests and we were so happy with how you sang our first dance.

  Thank you again and please pass on our thanks to the others.

  Mr and Mrs Duncan - Durham Castle - 3rd August 2013

• Hi Andy,

  Just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and your amazing band for the performance at our wedding a couple of weeks ago. It was absolutely fantastic and really made the Evening do special - I think at one point pretty much every guest was on the dancefloor!

  Thanks again

• “Livewire played at our Law Society Graduation Ball and were fantastic. They worked really well with us before the event to create a set list that would meet our needs and we especially loved their version of Jonny B Goode. We would like to thank them for incorporating some swings songs into the set as well. AMV were great and made the booking process as simple as possible.

  As soon as Livewire started playing our guests were straight up onto the dance floor. Thankyou Livewire and AMV, the music made our event!!”
