myself and my H2B have VERY different music styles (im all RnB/pop and he is heavy metal ) i had huge difficulty trying to organise a band as we are getting marrid bank hol weekend in aug and all the local bands were prebooked for ages after scouring the net and getting online agents to send us out details of bands etc we decided on a rocky type and they were free on our date (they are actually a wedding band) as that is the one style of music we DO agree on . this band are doing band and dj for us and travelling from Dublin for 1600. the only problem is..... i have never seen them play..... they have an online page where they have a melody of songs and a wedding video or something (not sure if im allowed post the link as that would be advertising but let me know and i will post it) and i think they sound very like the commitments. its a four piece all male band. they are called the soundmen. we have booked but havent paid a deposit yet as the man i was speaking to was really sound and said whenver im in dub to just give him a text and we can meet up to pay a deposit. we have been corresponding via email and he ensured me only last week my date is secure. so anywayyyyyy...... has anyone seen these at a wedding before? are they good performers. will my older guests not enjoy the music (they did say they cover a wide genre) ooohhhhh nervous.com

Hi IvoryBride2012,

Well done picking something that you were both happy with, considering your different musical tastes! And that price is brilliant value too, so that's a great start.

Maybe when you meet up to give the deposit, it might be a good opportunity to check them out at a wedding - even meet up at a wedding to give the deposit. If you get to see them playing a variety of tunes, you won't be worried at all.

Do you know, I see as many oldies up dancing to Chelsea Dagger, as I see the young up for Mack The Knife, so it will probably all be fine!

i will hopefully see them before the wedding its just they are from Dublin and im down south. but he is going to inform me when they are next playing in the south east

Sounds great!

One thing though - no harm to prioritise getting a deposit down, just in case, as the August Bank Holiday weekend is a very busy one. Bestter safe than sorry etc.!

Good luck with the plans
