Hi all!

I'm trying to find a "different" kind of wedding band for our wedding on 22nd February 2013 in Cork. We wanted Spring Break but they're not available If anyone has any suggestions we'd be really grateful. Thanks in advance!!

define different? not to be smart, but theres lots of "different" bands out there. cheesey, rocky, tribute-y, showbandy, indie-y, swing-y, jazzy..... if you can tell us what you had in mind might be able to recommend a few bands that suit.

note if you go through an agency you'll pay a premium, In some cases you have no choice as in the band you may want only take bookings through an agency but its always worth investigating booking direct.

Hi Clint. I guess by "different" we mean we don't want the usual cheese you get at weddings. I've discovered a band called BeatClub which looks promising for us. They play the kind of stuff we're looking for - old stuff, but not cheese!!!

most bands will play non-cheesey songs if you ask them, the cheese is a bit of a common denominator in getting people dancing but most couples looking hate it. Trust me, most bands hate playing it even more but its part of the job I suppose.
If you like the beat club and have got costs already and have the budget for them, book them, brilliant band.

Most bands don't want to play cheesy stuff either. We'd that problem when originally approaching the thought of playing for weddings - but the thing we found is that you can pick out some crowd pleasers which aren't cringeworthy too, unusual songs, maybe even normal songs but played with a slightly rockier edge to them.

Chat with whatever band you want to go with, make sure you go see them a few times too. Seeing a band in one venue full of a younger audience might not be the same as seeing them in a bar where the crowd is older - their set and on stage presence could be completely different in both venues.
