Hi Jude25

We were going to book these - Went to see them play last week and decided not to go with them - Not sure if it was just a bad wedding for them. But they took a very long break and did not put any background music on. Spoke to the manager of the hotel and he said that they were the worst band he has had in the hotel.
I was really looking forward to booking these and now wtb wont let me even talk about them.

Cheers

Hi Jude

We saw them play at a wedding in Citywest during the summer and they werent great at all. There was only about 5 people on the dance floor for the half hour we were there. They didnt seem to get the crowd interested at all. Might just have been an off night for them though

I'm really surprised to hear those comments, we had them at our wedding in July and they were fantastic!!
Dance floor full all night and got so many compliments on them.
We got married in the Ardilaun in Galway, and the co-ordinator actually commented to us that they were the best wedding band she had seen in ages.

It might depend what kind of music you want? we were thrilled!!

I agree - It could just have been a bad night for them. But now that we have seen them wtb just wont book them. I had heard so many good thing about them. I know one of them was in the Memorys. But I think you are better off going to see them.

Cheers

Im not sure whether Thebiglad saw the right band that night coz I saw the persuaders at a friends wedding in Killashee Hotel in Naas not so long ago and they were one of the best wedding bands I ever saw. The floor was full the whole night too...

Hi Seamus


I would rather not mention were I seen them - But it was not in Naas. As I said I went there hoping to book them and I do honestly hope it was just the wedding and not the band that was the problem. I have heard great things about them. So you ever booked them I'm sure they will be great. But I know I wont be having them - I'm having the Great Escape instead.


Cheers
