Comments: I thank you very much for your help with booking Jim McAllister for our wedding reception.
He was a great hit at the event. Having seen him performance before I knew what to expect, but he blew that all away at the reception,. He made it a very good evening. He is one of those people you can just sit and watch in ore, just needed to shut your eyes and you could think that Sinatra was there himself.
He was very friendly and professional and so was his band, and I am so glad he could perform for us it was a honor. All friends and family at the event were taken back by jims talent, he was a hit with the young to the old, which shows how much of a pro he is.

Comments: Jim McAllister was utterly brilliant. We had him for our wedding and he had the dance floor full all evening.
The average age of our guests was about 35 and EVERYBODY loved it. Jim is talented, professional and courteous. He was very flexible and approachable and made our night one to remember.
His band were first class and as a professional musician myself, I was highly impressed. On top of all that, he has an incredible voice and just oozes charisma. He is also a very nice chap!
Book him - you won't be disappointed!

Comments: My first dealing with alive was with Gemma who did a great job at putting my mind at ease, answering all of my questions, & was a great support for advice & booking Jim McAllister.
My second experience with Alive Network was meeting Jim McAllister & hearing Jim play at my wedding. Jim is a top man, great personality, he wowed all of our guests; his voice was incredible. He is extremely polite, very well dressed and interacted with all of our guests.
I would have absolutely no hesitation hiring Jim again or recommending him to friends & family.
Jim was the star of the evening.

Comments: I would recommend Jim McAllister for anyone who loves the Rat Pack and swing music in general. He was an abolute superstar and made our wedding reception extra-special. Nothing was too much trouble for him or his band and they were all really friendly and very very talented! We will definitely use them again for any future events we have and cannot thank them enough for the efforts they all made at our wedding!
We would recommend Alive Network when booking artists/acts for events as we found that they eased the pressure for us at what was a very stressful time when planning our wedding! All queries were responded to quickly and professionally, and our co-ordinator was never anything but friendly and polite. Thank you.

Comments: Jim provided great entertainment with his two sets - our guests were a mixed age range from 20 ish through to 80+ and everyone commented on how they enjoyed the music. With Jim also providing the music between sets and his flexibility to stay later than originally booked he helped make the evening a fantastic success. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jim.

Comments: Have to be honest, I meet a lot of people, and I know a lot of people, and I have to say that Jim McAllister was much nicer and more accommodating than I could ever imagined. If you're umming and arghing as to whether or not to book Jim don't, take my word as gospel, you get what it says on the tin. Believe the hype. Jim and his band are worth every people. Not only nice people but very professional also. Our schedule was delayed by 90 minutes but Jim and the guys just took the amendments in their stride and it did not affect their performance one little bit. A quote from one of my guests was, "but he actually sounds like frank Sinatra?!!" Yes he does...
The black stallion, who else...?

Comments: Hi there,
I just wanted to thank Jim McAllister so much for making our wedding at The Linthwaite Hotel on July 2nd 2009.
He was absolutely fantastic and all of the guests thought he sang even better than Frank Sinatra. What a lovely guy he is too. The choice of songs was great and he sang the first song for the bride and grooms dance brilliantly . If ever we need another night like that Jim will be on the top of our list. And all the girls thought he was gorgeous too! Thank you again.
Yours sincerely
Mrs Diane Pedder.

Comments: Dear Jim
Please forgive our not contacting you until now, since the boat trip life
has been a bit of a blur.
Once in a while, everything comes together with a result that is better than
anyone could hope for. It was just so on Sunday a couple of weeks ago. We
had the weather, wonderful food, a lovely group of guests - and you and the
band. You were absolutely fantastic, and those on board (and many who
followed from other boats or the bank) have not stopped talking about it
since. You made a lot of new friends that day, and we only hope you and
the boys enjoyed it as much as we did. For me, the icing on the cake was
the superb ad libbing you and Kenny put together, world-class stuff!
Altogether we had a magical day, and were still smiling next morning when we
left our sleeping guests to travel to Mallorca.
Until now, when I heard Frank Sinatra coming out of the radio, my thought
association tended to be of a sophisticated lounge in Las Vegas with
everyone in evening dress. From now on it will be the roof of a paddle
steamer wafting along the Thames in the early summer heat...
Jim - we look forward to seeing you again in the future, the sooner the
better!
With kind regards Mike and Louise Edwards
