Have been trying to do as little as possible in relation to organising the wedding but I have come to the conclusion that if I leave her to it entirely, it could end up a disaster with regard to the music. Maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on it but I reckon a really decent band is pretty important, I know everyone will be generally gee eyed by the time they play and even mediocre bands sound magnificent when everyone is pissed. Anyway can anyone recommend a decent band? I've contacted a few and seen some of them and they all seem to be much of a muchness, identical playlists with all the usual wedding "favourites" (I use the word favourite very loosely. I know the masses need to be pleased but I'm looking for a band that might do something a bit different (and well) by playing some alternative stuff. Any help either here or by PM would be welcome. Thanks. ------------- Sean Og O Hailpin.... his father's from Fermanagh, his mother's from Fiji, neither a hurling stronghold." |

Helped a mate out with the wedding band there last year, basically they all look crap on Youtube, but will be great after a day of drinking. Spring Break are great, but expensive. We went with The Aristocrats in the end. |

One of the few good things about getting married in another country to where you live (I'm getting married in Dublin, live in London) is that I don't have to go to 50 strangers' weddings to listen to the band or the church musicians.
My wedding band are mates of my brother, saw them do a gig in a pub, pretty good, let's book them.
The church musician is just a guitarist, we've just gone by what's on his website.
This business of checking out loads of different bands is ridiculous, if you like the first one you see, then you like the first one you see, no need to go see a load of others. If you don't like them, then check out another one, if the first lot are too expensive, check out another one, I don't understand why people would keep looking if they've found someone they like and who are in budget.
If women want to waste their time looking for clothes in 10 shops before buying the first thing they saw then that's their business, but no way should they be allowed to bring that sort of rubbish into other aspects of life.

It is, of course, very important to accomodate people, particularly if you plan to spend the rest of your life with them. I am simply pointing out that it is inefficient to expend extra energy on searching for an item or a service when you have already found one that meets your criteria, whether that is a band, either of the musical or the precious metal variety, a pair of jeans or anything else.
If your criteria change after the search has begun that is different, but if not why continue searching once you have found what you are searching for?

Was at the cousins wedding there a couple of weeks ago and every concievable buffer wedding tune was belted out at it . I think they play Sweet Caroline on a loop at Guantanamo Bay as its fcukin torture to listen,nevermind dance to it. The cousin had good tunes on in the background during the meal but they have to cater for the elderly relatives I suppose.Its obligatory at any west of Ireland wedding to have at least two Neil Diamond tunes ------------- Wings?

Electric Avenue from Drogheda. Saw them at a wedding a couple of years ago and they were excellent.

Anyone know what an average price would be for the band? Recently engaged and would love smash hits and just want to know how much above average they are. Think I'd rather spend slightly less on a venue and more on band to make sure people have a good session. ------------- Bohs Till I Die |

| We've skipped the 5 piece band for ours, same stuff at most weddings at in he end mostly forgettable. Went down the route of checking out bands in pubs and what bands got people having the craic. Was almost going to go for a trad band but the missus vetoed. We settled on who's eddie who are always great for getting people up on the dance floor and play songs we like and they are very reasonable priced compared to what some of me mates/family have spent on fairly generic 5 piece bands |

Having worked in a hotel that does a lot of weddings, I can confirm that the majority of wedding bands are absolute sh*te. The ones that are good tend to cost a fair bit, but are a major improvement on the rest. As for DJs, all of them are w*nk. No exceptions.

Fluthered on the moon.  ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

If you're interested in hiring an irish band, check these - they slapped at our event Seriously speaking, very professional and intelligent guys who love what they do; enjoyed their sound a lot.

Lads a lot of bitching about the DJ after the Band. But the DJ usually has a suggested list of songs from the Bride and Groom. In some instances I have had a list of music that would cover 10 hours to be played in 1-5 to 2 hours. What do you think is wrong with the mix of songs or what do you think makes DJ rubbish in your opinions.

suppose you’ll have a mix who expect the usual type of wedding songs. I thought I could name some but when I started to actually think of it I could only think of 2, summer of 69 and 500 miles. And then others who want more current songs. By the time the DJ is on you’re probably well on by that stage anyway. As for wedding bands that’s my brothers profession and they’re fecked at the moment. Even when pubs reopen there won’t be any music and weddings cancelled all the way to October. A friend of his is a manager of a hotel and even then they don’t want music at weddings. Basically want people to have scaled back numbers, eat their dinner and then go home. ------------- The dark side.. And the light |

The request of, playing of and dancing to of 'Summer of '69' should lead to many happy occasions: all of them funerals for those involved. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

| I banned our wedding DJ from playing 500 miles. I despise the song and I think it might also be the root of my hate for the Scottish accent. |

Its not that the hotels that don't want it its the government. Hotels will be pushing to have weddings as normal asap but likely won't be allowed, we've been able to serve alcohol to the frontline workers we have staying on days off etc and even then trying to get people to respect social distancing/ keep apart is almost impossible to enforce, can't see how small pubs could ever enforce it when they are going to have half the staff they had before As a hotel manager and also getting married this year can see it from both sides. Starting to think its not worth the wait until August to see how it goes and just postpone a year
