Good wedding band

ceoli

I'm getting married next year & looking for a good wedding band in the Waterford / Kilkenny area. We dont want someone who plays waltzes or irish music all night but would like get a good lively band who plays up to date music. All suggestions appeciated - thanks!

We were the exact same. We're getting marring in August and have booked Fuse. They played in Rubys Lounge, Kazbar etc..They aren't a "wedding band" but they sill play whatever you want..we just want them to play their pub set..they have a good following and we've heard them play and the place was hopping

The contact I have is Gerry. His number is 0863836147:)

Thanks Snuggles. Yes, that's exactly what we want - a good modern pub band. Will look them up!

Avalon probably one of the best around. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001432206044#!/pages/Avalon-Waterford/139437430925

Agreed about Avalon he'll of a Rep they have built up but TBH I very much doubt they'll be free people book them very early. But you might get lucky.

If you are looking for something a little different with lots of energy - try the Waxies!

Avalon left me down at the 11th hour for my own wedding:(

How much notice did they give you? and what was their reason?

Avalon must have had a very good reason to pull out of a wedding gig. I'm sure it was something very serious but how much notice did they give? You said 11th hour so that means to me that it was the day before. One of them must have been on their death bed!
I'm not in avalon or know anyone in it but it seems strange that they pulled out.

AdMMM

+1 to The Bottle Brothers. They create a great atmosphere and you're guaranteed an enjoyable night.

^As bove.^
A couple of weeks is the 11th hour when it comes to preparing for a wedding!

That is despicable. How does a group with 4/5 members get double booked? Airlines with over 100 passengers is still no excuse. They probably just decided to do a gig with more money and ditched the lesser profitable one.

Yeah a couple of weeks is a short amount of time alright when it comes to weddings.

San Franfiasco played at our wedding and were great. Contact Paul 0872357966

^ seemingly they have finished up. Called a different name (Its in the beers thread) they played at my wedding too and I thought they were very good.

Rubber Soul are excellent, but more 60s, 70s, 80s rather than modern stuff. Three piece brass section as well. You can get a number for them in John Palmers Music shop. Also Brand New Cadillac play quite a modern set, don't have a number off hand though.

try Lebowski - best wedding band ive seen to get a crowd going and reasonably priced - bout 750- check them out - they play in Waterofd city every week

dermo909

San fran fiasco have definitely finished up with Paul at the helm.

I'd normally recommend Avalon/Bottle Brothers cos I worked as wedding co-ordinator for a few years here, but my sis got married in August and had the Marvels from Cork and I swear it was the best wedding I was ever at... and I wasnt drinkin cos I was 9 months preggers. They really are incredible not like anything you've seen at weddings before. Everyone was ravin about them

Anyway they have a website www.themarvels.ie but if you want their number I can get it from my sis and post later
