Hi,

There's an amazing group run by Jamie Harris "The H Gang" in IrishEyes Optical over the botharmore post office....

American accentric guy, he's brilliant..I'm even getting him to play at the fashion show gig.

I also ran through a google search for you and found:

Jamie does Jazz but its very classy jazz!!!! I'm sure he'll do what ever you like.

Personally quartets are so elegant and beautiful!!! Something like "Clair de lune", sooooooo classy!

Maybe a soloist too, a lady? I'm sure you wouldn't pay more than 100....?

For a soloist plus keyboardist / organist, you'll be paying around four to six hundred. A full choir would be 850 to eleven hundred, more if travel expenses are involved.
I also presume a quartet would be wanting two hundred to two fifty per head.
Unless you have a family member in a group, or who can sing, you're really not going to get away cheaply here.

Hi Dwayne,

I was at a wedding ceremony and there was a fabulous duo playing. I made sure to get a card off them, they were that good! They're called Roy and Tara and their website is: www.royandtara.com

She is the singer, while he plays the acoustic guitar. They did a fabulous version of Fleetwood Mac's Songbird. She has a very sweet voice but also very powerful voice which brought a tear to almost everybody's eye! I think they play at receptions too...

Hope that helps!! Best of luck with your search!!

mikeanywhere, photographer and band booked 2 years ago Thank GOD!!!

Let the church music slide a little. Appreciate anything you can do!!

Want to go on recommendations rather than go blind. Would rather a classical theme than trad

I know a heap of Slashers who do a mean 'Highway to Hell'
