Bernie & Stephen’s Wedding
Bernie and Stephen’s choice of first dance last night inspired this blog title. They picked The Cure’s Friday I’m In Love, but what made it stick in our minds was that they picked Janet Devlin’s beautiful cover of it! It’s the first time we’ve heard her interpretation, and it’s such a brilliant version – well worth checking out if you haven’t heard it…

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…

We were back in the stunning An Grianan Hotel in Burt (County Donegal) on Saturday night. It was Louise and Gerard’s big day – thanks to both of them for inviting us along to play a few tunes at their wedding reception.

We were back on the road again last night, and made our way down to Newcastle: it’s a bit of a spin, but it’s a lovely town to play in! Thanks to Laura and Lee for inviting us along to play at their wedding reception in Hugh McCann’s. We’ve played in the venue plenty of times, but it was our first time playing upstairs in The Loft Suite, which is stunning! It really is a great room for small to medium size crowds, and has a great atmosphere – plus fantastic views of The Mournes and Dundrum Bay!

We were back on the road again last night after a week off! Thanks to Nicole and Matthew for inviting us along to the Four Seasons Hotel in Monaghan to play a few tunes at their wedding reception. The hotel were running pretty much on schedule, and had the stage cleared in a flash for us to setup!

Danielle & Lee
We were back on the road again last night, so thanks to Danielle and Lee for inviting us along to play at their wedding reception. In fairness we weren’t on the road long, as we were playing in the wonderful Greenvale Hotel, which is only up the road from us! In our opinion it’s Cookstown’s finest wedding venue, and a bit of hidden gem amongst all the Tyrone wedding venues – it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re planning a wedding reception in the Mid Ulster area…
