Colleen & Niall’s Wedding
We were back on the road again on Saturday night playing at Colleen & Niall’s wedding. They had left an envelope for us behind the hotel reception, and we couldn’t not share a pic of it with you all! We’ll not go as far as saying we’re the best band ever, but we’ll take the compliment…

Kelly & Aidan’s Wedding
We officially had our oldest ever dancer on Saturday night! We had a few ideas for this blog title, but when we saw this guy dancing we couldn’t have chosen any other title! The person in question was Kelly’s Grandad Jim Bob, and he was 100 on the 16th of June this year. That in itself is a remarkable achievement, but to see him out dancing was amazing: and also very inspiring! So, congrats Jim Bob, here’s to many more years…

Nadine & Steven’s Wedding
We were back on the road again last night, and had three guest singers up with us! We had Steven’s Dad Jeffrey up to sing a great version of Stop the World, and also had one of the bridesmaids Crystal up to sing a stormin’ version of Mustang Sally! However, we had another guy up (we didn’t get his name) to sing some of the Gambler: he wasn’t exactly sober, so points went to him for the most ‘entertaining’ version! lol Anyway, good on him, as The Gambler lyrics inspired this blog title and pic…

Elaine & Dick’s Wedding
We were back on the road last night at Elaine and Dick’s wedding, and their choice of first dance inspired this blog title. Elaine is a big Fleetwood Mac, and they had chosen the beautiful Songbird as their first dance. Well, maybe we should say Elaine chose it, and Dick had no choice! lol Either way, it sorted our blog title…

Rachel & Graham’s Wedding
We were playing at Rachel and Graham’s wedding on Saturday night, and they had invited a couple of VIP guests! We had two high profile politicians in attendance, however we won’t name them, as we’re guessing they would rather us respect their privacy. It sorted our blog title for us though, so all’s good…

Sinead & Minty’s Wedding
We finished our week in the beautiful Parkanaur Manor, which is just outside Castlecaulfied in grounds of Parkanaur forest. We haven’t played there in ages, so that was the inspiration for this blog title. The place was looking as stunning as we remembered, and the weather was great, allowing for a barbecue outside in the grounds…

Jenny & Stuart’s Wedding
Back on the road again last night, and Jenny and Stuart’s choice of venue inspired our blog title this time. They had chosen the fantastic Belmont House in Banbridge for their wedding reception. We knew that we hadn’t played there in ages: however after checking, we found out that it’s been nearly ten years! We last played there in January 2010! The place has went under some great changes since we were last there, and looks amazing! So, thanks to Jenny and Stuart for inviting us along…

Nicola & Declan’s Wedding
Our never ending series of weird blog titles continue! This one was inspired by last night’s bridal party. We quite often call the bridal party half way through the first dance, as more and more couples prefer that nowadays. Normally they come to the floor and the bridesmaids dance with the guys in the bridal party. However, last night they all came on and formed a circle with Nicola and Declan (the bride and groom), and everybody danced with their arms around each others shoulders! Maybe we’re getting soppy in our old age, but it was really lovely to watch…

Tracey & Darrell’s Wedding
As most people know, last week was a massive sporting week for Ireland, with The Open being held in Portrush! We heard there were tens of thousands of tourists coming for the event, but didn’t expect to see any staying as far away as Letterkenny! We met a bus in the hotel car park, so that was our blog title inspiration sorted…

Cheryl & Barrie’s Wedding
One of the Scottish guests at last night’s wedding inspired this blog title and pic. He came over and asked us to play The Clash’s Should I Stay or Should I Go. It’s a long time since we’ve been asked for that, so that grabbed our attention. We couldn’t get a decent royalty free pic of The Clash, so a tribute to classic hit London Calling was the best we could do…

Jacqueline & Calum’s Wedding
Jacqueline and Calum’s fantastic choice of first dance inspired this blog title! They picked the brilliant acoustic version of Guns n Roses’ Sweet Child O Mine that is performed by Slash and the amazing Myles Kennedy on vocals. What a great choice, and a great way to kick the night off…

Caroline & Liam’s Wedding
We had a quieter week last week, as we only had one wedding, which was on Saturday evening. Our title was inspired by a power cut during our performance! So, more no voltage rather than high voltage! However, as we’re both big AC/DC fans, we couldn’t resist using the DC song title for our post title…

Hayley & David’s Wedding
We were chatting to Hayley and David’s photographer while we setting up, and he was telling us about the photo locations for the day. He said that he got the best pics in David’s barley field! So, we were delighted to hear that, as that sorted our usual unusual blog title…

Brenda & Tony’s Wedding
Brenda and Tony’s choice of first dance inspired this blog title. They picked Coldplay’s fantastic Sky Full of Stars for their first dance. As far as we recall it’s the first time a couple have picked it for a first dance, and it definitely was a great choice! Definitely a pumping tune to start the night…

Orlagh & Kevin’s Wedding
There’s a bit of a rally theme for this post! We were chatting to Orlagh’s stepdad Raymond when we arrived, and he was full of the craic! Amongst the banter, he was telling us that he was a big rally fan, and that he actually used to be a navigator! Cheers Raymond, that sorted our typically unusual blog title…

Ashley & Ryan’s Wedding
For a change Brendan inspired this blog title! It’s not often one of us inspires it, but I couldn’t resist for this post! He was talking up the steps to the stage during the disco, and missed one and fell! Poor Brendan, bad enough falling, but much worse when everybody is watching! Of course he got lots of sympathy from me…

Melissa & Jonny’s Wedding
Jonny is the inspiration for this blog title and pic! We were chatting to him after we arrived, and he was telling us about how his mates set him up after the speeches! They were just about to about to wrap up, and a policeman walked in to make an announcement. He proceeded to say that a delivery lorry had damaged two cars, and read out their model and registrations: one of them being Jonny’s prized Audi! He obviously wasn’t in on the joke and panicked as soon as he heard this, much to the amusement of all the guests! lol He took it in good sport though, so all was good…

Taylor & Cameron’s Wedding
We were back on the road again last night, and the weather was great! We’re not complaining, as it’s great to be able to wear shorts when we’re setting up, but we were roasted! Taylor and Cameron had invited us along to the Rosspark in Kells to play at their wedding, and the place was looking great as always. We were really relieved that the venue had the air con turned well up, as we weren’t long cooling down once all the gear was loaded in…

Laura & Liam’s Wedding
Saturday night, and we were joined on stage by one of Laura and Liam’s guests. Sean had come over all the way from Australia, and wanted to sing Macy Gray’s I Try. He didn’t need to try too hard, as he did a great job, and had the crowd in the palm of his hand! Cheers Sean, that sorted our blog title for us…

Charlotte & Steven’s Wedding
We were on the road again last night, and back in one of our favourite wedding venues – the fantastic Roe Park Resort! Thanks to Charlotte and Steven for inviting us along to play a few tunes for them and their guests. The Roe Park has refurbished their function room since we were last there, and it’s looking better than ever! As part of the refurb, they have brought the room into the bar, which is a great improvement: no more losing people to the bar outside the room…
