Balkan-style "Trumpet Orchestra" Brass Band in Dublin?

    In the Balkans (ex-Yugoslavia, as well as Romania and Bulgaria I think) trumpet music is traditionally played by a group of guys who are called a Trumpet Orchestra (though there'll be a trombone, tuba etc. - basically a brass band). They often play at weddings, like in this video

    Anybody know of any such groups in Dublin, or any suggestions on how I could go about finding one (to hire for my own wedding)?

    I'd agree with previous reply on North Strand Kontra Band,
    I brought a friend to see them in the Work Man's Club a few weeks ago and he suggested that they should play in Guca, Serbia where there's a festival of Trumpet Groups every August.
