I am looking for some suggestions on band/singer for the drinks reception before the meal. Looking for some upbeat music to get people in the mood before the real party starts. Reception is in Mayo on Valentines Day 15.

pooch90 · 24-11-2014 7:43pm

Have you checked out the Kooky Ukes? Quite possibly booked but are great.

LastWord · 24-11-2014 10:53pm

We had After Dark, very professional and easy to deal with. Did a DJ as well and had everyone going all night. Everyone talking about them the day after
My sister in law had Delorean, 80's band, put on a great show too
pm me if you want any info

Looking for a DJ (all night) for 30th May 2015, Dun Laoghaire Area.

Hi -- sorry if this has been posted before but can't find --- I'm looking for a 1 - 2 piece band to play my wedding. Its a small venue so don't want the typical wedding sound - plus don't want to pay the ridiculous prices! Looking for musicians that will get people dancing, who play alternative music like a really good pub musician. Finding it really hard to find anyone so any suggestion would be great - based in Munster

Milly33 · 20-12-2014 2:41pm

Have you trued going around the pubs with music and just asking them.. Im with you and the outrageous prices it is mad what bands charge.. Ill open a tin of worms now by saying that but tis true... There is a great kinda of session and that play in the Venue bar who are quite good or there is a chap there too just himself and the guitar Sullie I think his name is.If you email the venue on facebook I am sure they would give you the details.. he is great I must say he plays everything from trad to the bear necessities..

Can you give a date and rough location and a max budget if you have one so bands/entertainers can reply via pm if they're available please?

If youre booking any professional service I usually find theres 3 types of categories, Good, cheap and available. You get to pick 2.

ZiabR · 29-12-2014 1:39pm

Hi,

Looking for wedding band proposals for 18th July just outside Dublin.... Feel free to PM me... Will be a mainly 20s crowd and as such am looking for someone who can 'read' the floor... If you could throw out a waltz or two it may be a bonus.

Thanks

Hi, Just wondering about the rules here before i say anything. I know of a wedding band for a few of the above comments. Can i say their name etc? Thanks

sure, this is the place for it. Just do a quick search for their name here first. I tried to compile a list of all bands in this thread once and was up over 80. Most professional bands advertise on another prominent wedding advertising site and there was 100+ on my last count over there so theres a good chance theyve been mentioned already here and theres a rule of thumb that more then one mention isnt supposed to be allowed here (or else how many would be if ya get me)

Are you with them or just know them?

clint_silver · 05-01-2015 7:04pm

Cool, if you're free on a date just pm the op looking which saves everyone replying here each time and if you get some post count up can post a link to your band then

podgemonster · 06-01-2015 10:02pm

Looking for a wedding band to play in West Cork for September '16. We are hoping to find a nice mix with a Pop/70s/80s/60s mix, nothing too RocknRoll or country but still with 2-3 Waltz numbers to keep the Nanas and Aunties happy.

Any recommendation I would very grateful to hear.

MuddyDog · 06-01-2015 10:40pm

Any recommendations for a Church Singer in Carlow? Church singers please feel free to PM me. Getting married mid June 2015.

Drifter17 · 06-01-2015 11:42pm

Hi All,

Have garnered quite a bit of information from boards in the past and hoping my first post will be equally as beneficial.

I'm getting married in June 2017 in Co. Donegal so was optimistic that we would have our pick of suppliers but have come a bit unstuck when choosing the wedding band.

What we're after:
- 3-4 piece band playing a mostly modern repertoire with a few of the classic Irish/country tunes thrown in.
- Lead male vocalist
- Willing to travel to Donegal

Having trawled the usual wedding websites/youtube I've been largely underwhelmed/uninterested by most of what is on offer especially when placed alongside their quotes. As an example of the groups we do like are:

The Good Guys - Genuinely not that overpriced considering their quality but out of our budget.
Late Nite Radio - Already booked up almost 3 years in advance for our wedding date.
PartyRox - Look top notch on the internet but heard they may have changed the lead singer in the past few months.

Can anyone suggest similar alternatives/suppliers proffer their services? Happy for any PMs.

Cheers!

smilieann · 07-01-2015 9:06am

I am looking for a good country and western wedding band for my wedding. Alot of bands now play pop or latest hits. I am looking for a band who plays lots of lively country jives and waltzes. Based in Cavan/ Longford.

can you post in the sticky at the top of this forum, please specify the general location of the wedding and the specific date to see if a band are free.

smilieann · 07-01-2015 2:24pm

The wedding is in County Cavan on 23rd April 2016.

Milly33 · 07-01-2015 3:05pm

We just booked a band called Bunoscionn they are great. To look at you think trad band but they are so much more. we saw them play in town and just went for it. And surprise they aren't charging mad money for what they do.

candytog · 07-01-2015 4:38pm

Check out Vinny Mongan and Restless

They cover a wide range but also guys that double as fiddle and banjo players in the band so would suit your style.

Best of luck!

Pat182, per the thread title, only one post per band is allowed. Please read the first post in the thread before posting again.

TheBigDay · 08-01-2015 1:32am

Hi all,

Does anyone have any recommendations for any good wedding bands? We'd like a band that:

1. does crooner/swing dance music (Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra etc.);
2. isn't too precious to do a few crowd-pleasers (the stuff that people in their 60s like dancing to - as they're always the first people onto the dance floor at weddings);
3. will travel to Mayo/Sligo area; and
4. won't bankrupt us entirely!

We're arranging this wedding from the other side of the world. So, we won't be able to check out the band in advance and are quite reliant on personal recommendations.

All suggestions gratefully accepted!

Not sure of budget,think this crowd might be pricey but my Buble loving friend has booked The Bentley Boys. Think they offer different size bands too, probably a 4 piece and a 6 piece.

nosietoes · 09-01-2015 11:33pm

It depends on what you consider bankrupting price wise but we really like The Velvet Lounge Band. My sister had them nearly 9 years ago, and we've booked them as well.

harold40 · 10-01-2015 1:31pm

Hi
Looking for a wedding band for April 30th 2016 in North Wexford area

We had The Best Men in August,they are brilliant and very professional, had all ages dancing all night.
Their manager handles The Jukebox Kings too,maybe even others but may be worth contacting.

NewCorkLad · 13-01-2015 1:26pm

Looking fro a 3/4 piece band for Kerry July 23rd. Looking for a band that plays a bit of everything but with a different sound some brass or double bass. Please feel free to PM me.

Gavlor · 13-01-2015 3:32pm

Has anybody been to a wedding recently where 'the men in black' were playing?

My oh and I are looking at them for our wedding later in the year. Feedback seems good so far and the set list ticks the boxes but I wonder if any boardsie's have first hand experience?

Havent seen them in a couple of years, but they're really really good at what they do. If you like their setlist, you wont have any problem if you book them. Theyre doing a couple of showcases, pop along to them.

laylaw · 18-01-2015 6:20pm

Hey guys, quick question. Has anyone ever seen or had The Swing Cats at a wedding? I've just started looking for bands for my 2016 wedding, and these guys are standing out the most.

witzky · 27-01-2015 2:52am

Hey guys, looking at Social Sway for a wedding in 2016. Their YouTube video looks good but would love to hear from people who seen them live? Organising it from Oz so can't go check them out for myself!

Any comments appreciated.

Thanks

MBDavo · 27-01-2015 9:06pm

Anyone know where I could find a guitar player who will sing ballads for the day after wedding party. Will probably be 50 people at it so want someone upbeat and lively to play.

NewCorkLad · 28-01-2015 12:45pm

Has anyone had Blacktye as their wedding band or been to a wedding that had them, looking for some reviews thanks.
