Are You The Best Band in Britain? Alive Network Seek Talented Function Bands for Bookings in 2014

NEWSCASTLE UNDER LYME, England, December 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --



It's not the kind of shortage you'd expect, but such is the demand for quality
function bands for weddings, parties and corporate events that a top UK entertainment
agency are already aware they'll have more bookings than bands for 2014.



Young, four-piece, all male rock and pop bands have always been the bestselling artist
type that top UK entertainment agency Alive Network [http://www.alivenetwork.com ] offer.
Despite exclusively representing some of the best function bands in the UK, most of their
bands are almost booked up for key dates over the summer and for Christmas 2014!



So, the biggest online entertainment agency in the UK is on a recruitment drive to
find more UK bands that have the enthusiasm, energy and talent to be performing at all
types of private events in 2014.



Rich Hearn, head of Artist Management and Development at Alive Network, knows exactly
what kind of band will fit the bill. "We're looking for 4 to 5 piece guitar based rock and
pop function bands who love to entertain, and are able to delight guests of all ages at
weddings, private parties, summer balls and black tie dinners alike. They'll need their
own PA system, lighting and transportation, and be available to work in most areas of the
UK, plus that all-important professional attitude and commitment to being the best they
can be, wherever they play."



It's a superb opportunity for any young British band to gain invaluable performing
experience to either support their own music goals, or specialise in the private and
corporate event markets. There's good money to be earned too. Top bands that work
exclusively for Alive Network [http://www.alivenetwork.com ] can earn over GBP120k per
year, playing to enthusiastic audiences at functions both at home and abroad, rather than
struggling to fund their music through part-time jobs in other industries.



Dave Bevan, Managing Director of Alive Network, is keen to share the benefits of
joining an established agency with a proven track record in artist development.



"Bands who are accepted by Alive Network immediately get the five star treatment from
us. We never charge a fee for joining the agency and we are very select about what bands
or artists we accept.



"When a band does join us, we want to help them promote their services to as wide an
audience as possible. So, we offer every band a free professional studio photoshoot, plus
the chance to record demo tracks in our own recording studio, have a video shoot, a
custom-built website, and access to our exclusive business development workshops covering
everything from marketing to dealing with clients on the night."



Bands interested in joining the UK's most successful online live entertainment agency
should look at Profiles of the most popular bands on the Alive Network website. They can
quickly hear and see the performance quality and versatility in online videos, demo tracks
and comprehensive set lists. Anyone interested in this excellent opportunity can submit
their details to rich@alivenetwork.com, or are welcome to call the agency on 0845 094
9761 and talk to any of the team.



Rich Hearn encourages any band that has the drive to succeed to get in contact. "We're
not worried if your band are just starting out or have just a few gigs under your belts -
we're looking for potential, musicianship, and talent rather than polish, plus the
willingness to work for what you want. Forget the TV talent shows, this is a genuine,
long-term way to succeed in the music industry - and pay the rent!"
