And the Winner’s Are… Alive Artist Awards 2016

Celebrating the best of live music talent, the night was filled with fruity beverages, spectacular performances (of course!) and a room packed full of the live entertainment industry’s hottest artists and figures from the cutting edge of private events and modern music. 

After some chit chat and impressive cocktail creations – we're still hurting a little from Alive’s bright blue, gin-based signature tipple – Alive founder Dave Bevan took to the stage, along with a host of guest presenters, to announce the winners of this year's awards.
