Wedding Bands

[Onion Bag]

Well Lads, Doing the deed in July 09, and thought that we have plenty of time to getting everything sorted, but it turns out that a Wedding Band is turning out to be a real pain in the ass. they are all either booked or asking for crazy money. Looking for someone that will be able to play for the old Fogies (The waltzes and jives) and the young ones (Anything at all, coz they wont remember the next morning anyway). Any suggestions?

Armagh

There's a great band from Lurgan, Captain Kennedy's

My mate had a good traditional Irish band at his wedding. Unfortunately the name escapes me, but I can find out for you.

For a more weddingy type band, with good music, my brother had The Boogie Men from Kildress, Co. Tyrone.

Yeah the Boogy Men are good. So are the Mucky Ducks.

Best band of that type I have heard in good while are a crowd called "Lift the Roof" from Newry. They are playing around our way soon and I would highly recommend that you go and listen to them. If you want more details then drop me a PM.

The Boogie Men are very good indeed. In saying that though they did a cousin's wedding and didn't know the first song that he wanted and when he asked them to learn it they said no. They weren't gonna let him play the first song on CD either cause it would take away from their performance but they ended up doing that anyway. It wasn't as if this was a shotgun wedding or anything - they had a year to learn the song! 

There's also a band called Cream of the Barley that play round Tyrone/Armagh that are very good - maybe moreso for the older folks.
