Evi & James – Charlwood
..."Thank you so much for everything you and the band did for us at our wedding, including the last minute special requests. The music was fantastic and everybody had a brilliant time. All our guests have been telling us non stop how great you were! Thank you for topping off the perfect day..."
Bobbie Lamden, HSBC - Wickwoods Country Club,
West Sussex. ...
"....To Chris and all the band - just a note to say thank you for another great night. The HSBC Insurance Brokers Christmas Party was a great success, and the band played a massive part in this. ALIBI were on top form, as per usual, and the 'in house' DJ was highly impressed with the way you worked together. You turned up with plenty of time to set up before all 180 guests arrived, and playing the James Bond Theme tune at the beginning of the first set was a good touch! The music all night was brilliant, and everyone who I have spoken with could not praise you enough. I look forward to working with you again in the near future...."
Ali Cooper – Premier Oil Summer Party at Hampton Court Palace.
..."ALIBI proved to be a band not just with fine vocal abilities, but also a band capable of superb entertainment during their live performance at Premier Oil's Summer Party at Hampton Court. ALIBI fully involved the audience, which made the evening even more fun! Premier Oil would be thrilled to have ALIBI back for future events..."

Mark & Lorraine's Wedding at Sopley Mill, Hampshire
"Thanks so much to you and your amazing band for playing at our wedding last night. Great to see so many on the dance floor all the time. Great fun and great music"
Harold Benjamin Centenary Ball at The Grove, Watford
"A HUGE THANK YOU to you and The Band for Saturday night.
Everyone thought you were absolutely brilliant! Some said that they thought it was ipod music playing when in fact it was the band - you were that good. Others mentioned that the music was just at the right volume so that they could still chat on the dance floor and if sitting down. Others mentioned that the mix of music was just right. Again, thank you to each member of the band for helping to make the ball the success that it was".
Q: Can I listen to the band?
A: You can listen to samples on this site
Q: Can I see the band play live?
A: The majority of our engagements are private functions, although it is sometimes possible to view the band by prior arrangement. If you prefer not to wait, you can view our videos now HERE. All the visuals and audio were recorded live at various functions, thus giving an accurate representation of the band.
Q: How long do you play for?
A: We normally play for a maximum of two and a half hours total playing time divided into 2 or 3 sets.
Q: Do you play recorded music during your breaks?
A: Yes, we play music from from our ipad. If you prefer you can provide your own music compilations on i-pod, mobile or laptop.
Q: How long do you take to set up?
A: Ideally we like 2 hours to access the venue, set up and soundcheck. If you would like us to set-up well before the event this is usually possible but may involve a small extra 'waiting' fee.
Q: How much space do you need?
A: The largest area we need will be approximately 6m x 3m. We are used to smaller spaces too. If there is a staged area, it helps, but we are happy to play on the flat. We can also play outside, but will need to be under cover in case of rain.
Q: Do you always have the same personnel in the band?
A: ALIBI's singers and musicians are among the finest in the country, and are sometimes unavailable due to session and touring work. This is why we have a carefully selected pool of amazing performers, so we can guarantee that every function we play for is a major success!
Q: ALIBI offer a large choice of line-ups. Which one should we choose?
A: When we provide a quote we will tell you how much the different sizes of band cost so you can choose a line-up according to your requirements and budget. If you are not sure what size band you will need, just ask us.
Q: Is there anything we need to provide on the day for the band?
A: The musicians will require a hot meal and drinks during performance. We will also need 2 x 13 amp power sockets for our equipment.
Q: Can you play at our wedding ceremony/drinks reception/dinner as well as providing music for the evening?
A: Yes – clients often ask us to provide background music in the afternoon, followed by dance music from the band in the evening.
Q: Where will you play?
A: We are happy to travel anywhere, but the fee may reflect travelling time and accommodation requirements.
Q: What do I need to do to book?
A: Once we have agreed details, we will send you a booking form for you to sign and return with the agreed deposit.
Q: When is payment due?
A: We usually ask for a 40% deposit, with the balance payable on or before the day of performance.
