    I just saw a band called The Harleys for the first time last week. They're playing the Silver Granite on saturday 3 weeks.
    I like them a lot but then their choice of music was all mine too. Rock guitars all the way.

    Not fingal but Electric Avenue (I think that's their name) from Drogheda are brilliant! They played our friends wedding.

    There was a band playing Seamus Ennis summerfest few weeks ago, I believe they play Duffy's in Malahide a lot and are from round there, they would be pretty funky for a wedding too!

    That's them!
    I said to my friends during the gig that I'd hire them for my imaginary wedding ;)

    Was at a wedding some weeks ago and I thought the band was excellent. Great music and had the place hopping. Midnight sounds, recommended!

    Friend of mine had Catch 22 for her wedding (in 2010), I thought they were really good, loud rocky band possibly not to everyones taste but young and old were all up dancing.

    They also supply the DJ end as one member of the band becomes a dj after their set and this was included in her price.

    It's hard to choose a band I suggest pick one that you like because your never goin to please anyone

    Just heard a snippet of The Hitmen and they are excellent. The lead singer is formerly of NRG a popular band around N.C.D a few years back.

    I would agree with cats whiskers get a band you and your partner like as you wont please them all. I had a band called Paper chase at mine and they were excellent. Nice sound and all good musicians. Played a great mix from Country, light rock and pop and were good crack.
