    Hi guys,

    Having a party somewhere (to be yet decided) in galway for my sisters birthday.
    There will be about 40 people at the party. Does anyone know any good dj or band that could play for the party. She likes rock music!

    What age will your sis be, or what age group will most of the partygoers be?

    The Wilful are a fun covers band +1 for them. I know they are over at the Father Ted festival soon though, when is the event?

    Do you want a covers band or will a DJ suit better. A DJ would be definitely cheaper than a cover's band. What do you consider reasonable?

    If it's a lengthy party you'll probably need both anyway?

    That'd be spendy! A good covers band would have a lot of material, and a good DJ should be able to keep the vibe and read/ change it as the night progresses.

    But if you've an unlimited budget, get some go go dancers and fire artIsts too! :D
