We are getting US, think their from Dundalk,
They play a bit of everything and suit the older
crowd as well as younger so might not suit,
there is loads of other ones you should go and
see a few of them.

Our wedding is in Louth in 2008 as well! We haven't really thought about bands yet. Will probably look into it after Christmas but hopefully this thread will give me some ideas. Thanks Joanne!

I'm not sure if you'd like them but we had the Glenn Miller Legacy at our wedding in the Ballymac a few weeks ago. They were brilliant and everyone loved them. They play a mxiture of music- it's quite swing based. They're a 14 piece which is a spectacle in itself. I'm dying to see the dvd now to remember them!
