Her enthusiasm and love of the industry is genuine, I would recommend her highly for most lines of work in the live music industry."

"Alli Hodge is one of the hardest working and most knowledgeable people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Her in depth knowledge and active experience in the UK music industry makes her a crucial force to bands both signed and unsigned. She is the first person I would work with on any music project."
- Andy Spence, TotalRock Radio
"I have known and worked with Alli as a concert promoter for over 5 years. From the word go, she was a passionate supporter of me and my music and has played a major part in me becoming the artist I am today. Alli's passion for supporting and giving opportunities to acts, regardless of the stage they are at in their career, is second to none. In an industry where cynicism is common place, Alli is the exception and throws all her effort and passion into an act if she truly believes in them. Above all of this, in the last five years, Alli has not only become a trusted part of my musical team and my first port of call for putting on shows, but more importantly, she has become a true friend and any artist would be privileged to have her on their side."
- Stewart Mac, singer/songwriter
