Wedding band?

[*Anna*]

Hello ED,

Any of you able to recommend a wedding band? After nothing too big but something we can all have a good boogie to!

Thanks

Hi Anna,

My husband (local to East Dulwich) has a band. They do the usual wedding classics and with advance notice are happy to do specific requests. They are a very reasonable price (not charging premiums for weddings). If you want his details pm me with your email address and he will get in contact.

I was a founder member of a function band (I left when it got a bit too much with 2 small kids and gigs every weekend). They can go out with the full line up including horn section, or will do a smaller group. Matt Brown is the drummer and the main man to chat to. Details herehttp://www.baregroove.com/

Baregroove are great! They performed at my wedding last year. I would book them again without looking anywhere else.

Hi Anna,

we're getting married in a couple of weeks and are having a band called the 'fandangoes'. Don't judge by the name!! We went to about 12 friends weddings last year and thees guys stood out as being the best by far. They are really fun and the main reason we chose them is just as you say, so we could have a good old boogie! Check them out.

That really made me laugh. I was a founder member of BareGroove, which is an absolutely awful name in my opinion, but equally it's pretty memorable which is a good thing.

Band names are a nightmare to come up with!

We had an awesome band called the road runners - they are more rocky (not so much rubbish cheese) 60s - to current. Everyone young and old loved them. They are about 1,250 for the night (there are 5 of them) which seemed cheaper in comparison to some.

They played at our wedding and a friends.

At one point we were all 'moshing' to Nivarna including my parents friends and aunts and uncles!

My husband used to be in a band and they did let them have a little reunion on stage - nice guys!

We also had a Piano man - he played whatever you wanted on request - he had an AMAZING repertoire - he played everything from memory. He was about 300 quid - so a cheaper alternative - but still live music and interactive!

Hey! There are lots of bands you can find and book in the Internet. But may I know where you?re from? My friend in Scotland recently got married and I flew there to witness it. We haven?t seen each other in years so in the reception, she told me everything, from the planning, to the dress fitting, and such. And their band, oh my, they were really good. I forgot to ask the band?s name but she told me they had a hard time picking as there are many good wedding bands Scotland.

Hope you find a good one too! Best wishes to you!
