50s/60s/70s rock bands??

--Fox

Was wondering if anybody could suggest a decent band who play functions ie: pub gigs, partiies, etc?? It's for a 21st birthday in Fermoy, venue undecided so far. It's not until October so I've a bit of time yet. I just don't want the usual "dj" playing crap cds teenage-disco style! I'd be interested in anything from Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, Elvis or rock & roll as such! (think the juke box at Eddie Rocket's!!) to like Springsteen, Gallagher,Hendrix, Van Morrisson, Neil Young, Dire Straits, ELO, Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, even Aerosmith!! It's a pretty wide selection like, so if anyone knows of anyone or has any suggestions please let me know?!?!?!

Thanks loads!

You want the Hot Guitars. They play that sort of stuff and they're really good musicians to boot. The guy you want to talk to is Joe O'Callaghan, who is their front man and manager. They play pretty regularly in the Rochestown, and also in Counihans i think. Don't have any contact info unfortunately

[Shameless shameless plug]My band do some of that sort of thing. We're a Wedding/Function band playing 5 years in Cork, and on a semi-pro basis. The name of the band is "The BizNiz", we are all approx 30 years of age, and play music from :

Elvis
Beatles
Van Morrisson
The Drifters
Queen
The Foundations (Build me up Buttercup ...)
The Doobie Brothers
Bryan Adams
Blink 182
Bon Jovi
Robbie Williams
And old skool rock like Hippy Hippy Shake, etc.

And we're flexible, if there's stuff you want us to play, we'll learn it for you.
