Forever Live 's Reviews

We booked Forever Live for our wedding in 2023 and honestly couldn’t have asked for more. From the moment they arrived, they felt like part of the family, warm, friendly, and so easy to get along with. Ali’s guitar work was absolutely mesmerising, bringing such a richness to every song. Between sets they chatted with our guests, cracked jokes, and just blended into the day perfectly. By the evening, the dance floor was packed and we were in full party mode. highly recommended!

Chris’s vocals are fantastic, so much range and soul, and you can tell he feels every note. We had Forever Live play chilled, acoustic tracks during the drinks reception, then later they cranked it up and turned the place into a proper party. The shift in energy was seamless, and it felt like they’d known exactly what our crowd needed. Everyone was up dancing, singing along, and smiling all night. They totally made our day.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Our clients tell us they love the energy we bring, the way we connect with the crowd, and our ability to switch effortlessly from heartfelt, stripped-back acoustic songs to full-throttle party anthems. They often say it feels like having their own personal concert, with every guest singing and dancing along.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

We’ve had the pleasure of performing at some of the North West’s most stunning and prestigious venues, including Shrigley Hall, Peckforton Castle, Nidd Hall, Rivington Hall Barn, Thornton Manor, Eaves Hall, Colshaw Hall, and Mitton Hall – plus many more beautiful locations across the UK.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

For our acoustic sound, we take inspiration from Boyce Avenue and Music Travel Love, creating warm, intimate renditions of popular songs. For our electric, high-energy sets, we’re influenced by Bon Jovi, Oasis, and Take That, artists who know how to get a crowd on their feet.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

One of our career highlights was performing at the Fowey Regatta – an open-air concert to an audience of around 2,500 people. The atmosphere was electric and it’s a night we’ll never forget.

Do you have different line-up options?

No – our line-up is always the same: Ali – Guitar Chris – Vocals This ensures you get the same quality, chemistry, and polished performance every time.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We understand that wedding and event schedules can shift. We can usually accommodate most timing changes – just let us know as early as possible so we can plan accordingly.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes – DJ services are available within our packages, so the music keeps flowing seamlessly between live sets and into the night.

How much time do you need to set up?

We require around one hour to set up and soundcheck, ensuring everything looks and sounds perfect before your guests arrive.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Yes – we use wireless microphones and guitar technology, allowing us to move around and interact with your guests while we perform.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Absolutely you’re welcome to suggest your favourites and request any special songs for key moments. However, we’ve found the night flows best when you let us read the crowd and choose the right songs in the moment. That way, we can keep the energy just right and the dance floor full from start to finish.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes – all quotes include our premium RCF sound system and full LED lighting, so there are no hidden extras.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes – we’re happy to learn special songs just for your event, whether it’s for your first dance, aisle walk, or another key moment. There is a fee of £50 per song to cover rehearsal and preparation time.
