    Hi guys

    My wedding is coming end of May and I'd like to get peoples ideas for some good tunes (to be accompanied by acoustic guitar), to get people singing or at least some songs that go down well.

    Preferably not the really over played stuff (eg 500 miles etc.)

    Cheers

    The Calling - Wherever You Will Go
    Caledonia
    Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
    The Beatles - Hey Jude
    Kenny Rogers - The Gambler
    Garth Brooks - The Dance

    From my own experiences of playing guitar in a social setting, these songs usually spark people into joining in!

    Buy yourself a couple of the books of lyrics they have available (like The Words of 100 Irish party songs). I've found that some people don't trust themselves to sing 'cos they're not sure they know all the words. And these kinds of books also jog people's memories of songs they might not have thought of for a while. I brought a few of them to a weekend away a couple of months ago and they went down very well.

    Plenty of country songs in any compilation of favourite Irish party songs. Not sure there's a huge amount of metal that lends itself well to an acoustic singalong style though, what would you suggest (haven't listened to much metal at all since I was a teenager, and that's a long time ago - could think of a few Iron Maiden songs that would be good but that's about it)? :P

    "It's the end of the world as we know it" is appropriate.
