    Hi,
    Can anyone recommend some Irish trad musicians that play both reels and jigs and sing some ballads?

    I have a tight budget and can't afford to pay for a group/band at the reception. Was hoping to book two musicians at most?

    We are having our wedding in carlow in the summer 2016 Thanks
    Patricia

    Hi Patricia,

    I'm from Athlone and play trad music so I know a few people from the area and will ask around and see if I can find any takers. I'll drop you a private message if anyone I know is interested.

    Hi there,

    Can organize a duo or trio for you if you still need music. Have own sound system and lots of experience with weddings and corporate gigs. You can tell me what instruments you would like and I can arrange them. I play low whistle, concertina guitar and sing myself. Video available on request.

    Thanks for all messages and help,

    I have decided to book David Whelan's (irishweddingreception.com) two piece group, they are what I am looking for in music and also based not far from the venue.

    Thanks a million for all the suggestions and help.
    Patricia
