    Has anyone any recommendations about a band for a wedding in the Munster (specifically Limerick) area August 2017?

    We're not really into the cheesy wedding songs, 1 or 2 (max) waltzes for the old timers and then that's it!


    PM if you can, thanks!

    Hi Folks,

    Looking for a DJ for a wedding in Waterford in August next year. Not really looking for a "traditional" wedding music (if you know what I mean) and would like to have input into the style of music and specific song requests (nothing too alternative but not all mainstream stuff).

    Off the top of my head type, set would be looking for would include:
    Disco (Earth, Wind & Fire, Kool & the Gang etc.)
    Some Soul (Otis Redding, Al Green etc.)
    Bit of 60's-70's rock (Stones, Beatles, Bowie etc.)
    Classic 90's dance
    Some newer electronic music (Caribou, Laurent Garnier etc.)
    And anything in between for crowd pleasers!

    Any suggestions/contacts would be much appreciated...

    Will also need to hire a PA system (for some family members "jamming" for half an hour before the DJ ) so if I could do so with the DJ as one package would be handy.

    no help at all with them, I've not seen them but have heard of them. I would have considered them to be very different. Try get along to a show if you can.

    Yeah theyre different alright but good too! They are more of a wedding type band!
    I like the sound of the fuzzy burgers with the banjo and accordian, its a little bit different but was just wondering do they play stuff like uptown funk, happy by pharrell williams or other pop/rock songs like that?
    Thanks again for the help

    TBH your best given both a call and asking them. I only know of the FB cause there Cavan based which is where my band are. I'm sure they will answer all your questions and tell you when and where you can see them live if you need too.

    Just throwing in a recommendation for Phoenix. They are a 5 piece band in Cork, with a female vocalist. Have a look at their facebook page. I just had them at my 50th and they were awesome. Nothing was a problem and they rocked the joint. Very reasonable as well.

    Have a look at their gig guide as they play a lot of pubs etc., so you can preview them.

    Hi, we're looking for a great band that's available 24th September 2016 in Horetown House, Co. Wexford.

    A good mix needed - the classics for the early part of the night for the older crowd but then preferably lots of soul, alternative and indie stuff later on.

    Any recommendations or PMs welcome. Thanks.

    Hi

    Getting married in November in Clare (Limerick side). We have a DJ and I'm just looking for a band, our budget is on the lower side and I am aware this means less people. I'm thinking maybe a 2 piece. The main thing is that they get people up dancing.

    Anyone interested please PM.

    Thanks

    Has anyone seen The Jabronis live? Particularly at a wedding? They are from Cork and seem to play regularly in The Old Oak. We are living in Dublin and they seem to mainly have Sunday night gigs in The Old Oak so we haven't been able to see them yet.

    Thanks for the headsup!

    Went ahead with booking Soul Purpose on the basis of their showcase and a friends recommendation (along with the boards seal of approval).

    They were comparably very good value, nice guys and most importantly great tunes. Can't wait.

    Hi!

    Can anyone recommend a good band for a wedding in Carlow on the 29th of October. We're looking for a band that can cover a few waltzes and also a bit of indie/pop.
    That's probably a tall order but if anyone has any recommendations, I'd be really grateful!

    Now that I officially have my wedding band booked I don't mind sharing with you.

    I booked No Recession after seeing them at my bestfriend/cousins wedding a few weeks back and was automatically blown away by the singer! I rang them last week and got a great quote from them including a DJ pretty much half of what other bands have charged me (PM if you want to know) so I snapped it up quickly. I asked would they play certain songs and the person I spoke to said it was no problem at all. I'm also having my wedding up the country a good bit away from where their based and driving is not a problem for them either. I was never asked for a deposit or nothing just to pay on the night aswell. I am so thrilled and thank Christ this is out of the way. The band was a big part of our day due to my boyfriend's love for music so I am delighted!! :D:D:D:D:D:D


    If you search No Recession on Facebook you should find them :)
