    Was at a wedding at the weekend and the band that played there were The Marvels. They were fantastic, full of energy and kept the crowd going all night. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

    Hi, same as most people on here I am looking to hire a band for a wedding next year.

    The wedding will be in Kilkenny but we would ideally like something a bit diffeent from what we would be used to seeing at other weddings in the Kilkenny / Clonmel / Waterford region.

    We were recommended two bands that regularly play in Kilkenny called 'Fiesta' and 'the Works' but have never heard any of these pla.

    Another band which was recommended to us today was a guy called 'Brush Shiels' and his band. Now I had never heard of him although I am led to believe thay are very popular in ireland and play a great gig but am concerned as I looked at one of their set lists and it seems to be made up mainly of traditional Irish music which is not really what we are after.

    I would really appreciate it if anyone on here has ever been at a wedding which any of these bands performed at or indeed if you have any alternative suggestions.

    Thanks

    The Housem8s are really good, heard them at a function a while back and they're doing my wedding in Donegal next year. They were able to give me exactly the playlist that I wanted

    the nearer the pale that you go the dearer the price for a band. just a little pointer for people looking to book a band.

    Had a look at 5th Avenue at a showcase gig and they are decent. Classic wedding band with all the hits u'd expect. Around donkeys years apparently. Any other good bands around dublin area I can compare them with, with both male and female vocalists? 3rd party recommendations only please (way too much pimping going on in here!!!) Cheers folks

    Getting married in November and we're paying €1700 for a band + DJ in Dublin. Looked at one or two other bands and band+DJ were generally between €1600 and €2000. I'd say haggle the Rat Pack dudes down a bit. I don't think band prices have come down that much though with the recession as there as many people getting married as ever...I stand to be corrected on this though

    Does anyone know anything about after dark? My sis wants them for her wedding but i've heard they are taking double bookings for dates and changing some of the members for the second gig so you might not actually be getting the same people you've booked?

    pretty serious charge there bridey..
    anyone care to recommend or set the record straight?

    yea prices dont seem to have comne down at all.. some are saying that theres 100 quid off the prices..but jeasus if i knew it was all going to cost this much id have thought twice ahaha... seem to be getting quoted anything up to 2500 which is mental considering some hotels have dropped their prices greatly and now ht eband is nearly half the price of the reception.. madness

    Saw a good band at birthday party I DJ'ed at in Kells last night. Bit rocky, so maybe not really suitable for wedding, but if you like lots of noise and guitars then check out Gorilla Radio. They have sites at http://www.bebo.com/gorillaradiolive and http://gorillaradioband.webs.com/

    the price they charge?

    NiteDrive - Brilliant band covering Cork , Kerry, Limerick. Heard them at several weddings and have them booked for my wedding next year. Play a great selection of music to cater for everyone. Great to get the crowd going and not too expensive either.

    Hey

    Went to a wedding at the weekend and the band were AMAZING!!!!!!
    They are called 'Bloomfield Avenue' and they are performers from the west end musical 'Jersey Boys' also a girl whos a lead singer in 'Priscilla' musical.

    They did everything and anything and their performance was brilliant (must be use to being in the west-end)

    I asked the Bride how much they were and she said they weren't that expensive, very reasonable and were lovely to deal with.

    Check them out www.bloomfieldavenueband.co.uk

    I just need to have a party or get married again because I want them.

    James
    hi james, was this wedding in Ireland, was just on Bloomfield avenue's website and they look great but i think they may be uk based?

    I would have to second this. I was at a cousins wedding down in Cork last month and I have to say they were one of the best bands I have ever had the pleasure of seeing at the wedding. Great showmanship and interaction with the whole room. Brillant outfits that really looked the part.

    :D:D:D

    I am a wedding church singer and charge €250 for a full setlist with backing tracks/guitar/piano. Please check my voice samples out on www.weddingcentre.info. I'm a professional vocalist and vocal coach and also sing with the Dublin Gospel Choir and have my own gospel choir in Greystones, so plenty of experience on stage :)

    €250 is a standard price, it includes working for about 4 hours on the day and also practising any new songs you would like to hear and meeting up with you prior to the venue.

    Hi Guys,
    I have spent a while looking around for a good, funky and lively band for our wedding next june 11th. I know I am leaving it late to finalise them as some people have book nearly a year in advance! Would any band members post replys or pm me if they are available for the date above and I'll be sure to consider and view as many as I can. Your help or recommendations would be great!
    Thanks Guys :D
