Profile

Maxine is a highly talented and vivacious Harpist who began music at the age of 4. She started playing the Harp at the age of 9 due to the encouragement of her parents who were both members of the Halle Orchestra. She went on to study at Chethams School of Music where she studied under the renowned Harpist Elinor Bennett.
From 1989 Maxine has pursued a busy freelance career working with various Symphony and Ballet orchestras. She has been touring the UK with the Moscow City Ballet since 1992 and has also played with the English National Ballet and City Ballet of London. Her solo career includes numerous concertos and recitals.
She appears regularly in leading hotels and restaurants around the UK as well as playing for special occasions (weddings, birthdays etc.) and corporate events. Maxine has an extensive repertoire for such events ranging from classical to popular and folk music. She has also established a Flute and Harp duo called Melandra.
If your event is a wedding, Maxine is available to play at your Wedding Breakfast, Drinks Reception or Ceremony. Please note the time slots available.

Comments: Please forward on our sincere thanks to Maxine who performed brilliantly throughout the ceremony and reception.
So many guests commented on her beautiful performance and I only wish I had been able to enjoy her music more as I was the last one to arrive and had to go off for photos!
I would definitely recommend her and yourself to any friends in the future – you were always quick to answer any questions and supported us every step, especially as we had to organise it from abroad!

Comments: Hi Seth
We found the services of Alive Network and the artists they recommended an invaluable factor to our Clients Wedding. As Event Planners, it was essential to employ the services of an agency to supply artists of utmost quality, value, professionalism and reliability to assist in the smooth running of the event. From the first point of contact, their continuing customer care and ultimately to the event itself, Alive Network ensured our peace of mind with the two separate artists we selected for our Clients event in a positive, pproachable and professional manner. We would highly recommend Alive Network to provide artists for any event and will definitely use their services again.
Hope this is what you are after and we mean every word!!
Speak soon

Comments: Tony,
Thanks for the email.
Both Maxine Molin and Russell Shaun were excellent and full value for money. I would fully recommend both of them to anyone considering live music at a wedding or other event. The fact that both artists were so well prepared and didn't require lots of instructions or guidance but introduced themselves on arrival & then just got set up and produced a high quality performance.
Please pass on my comments and if you would like any further information let me know
Kind Regards
Nick Baldwin

Comments: Sorry for taking so long to get back to you with my comments, my laptop has had to be fixed. We had a lovely day thank you and Maxine was so nice and professional, she gave it her all and myself and Richard felt it was more that worth the money. Maxine was punctual and very pleasant, the music she played was very appropriate and enjoyable and our guests were very impressed. Thanks again for all your help and I will definitely be calling on your services for any future events.

Comments: Hi Martyn,
Thanks for your mail. We had an absolutely fantastic day, it couldn't have been better.
The artist that we booked through Alive Network was Maxine Molin (Harpist). In a word Maxine was brilliant. She was totally professional and cooperative every time I contacted her in the build up to the wedding, and she was extremely well mannered and pleasant to talk to. On the day she arrived perfectly on time, and her performance throughout the day was absolutely breathtaking. As well as ourselves, many of our guests went up to complement her of their own accord, and we have since had lots and lots of extremely positive comments about how much she contributed to a wonderful atmosphere. We would highly recommend Maxine to anyone considering booking entertainment of this kind, she is a true professional and a wonderful talent.
I'd also like to mention that all of my dealings with Alive Network were first class. Every single communication was prompt, efficient and totally informative, and everything ran smoothly from the first time I contacted your company right up to our wedding day. Thank you for a fantastic service.
Thanks Again, Regards,
Pete & Cath Lyons
