Title: Re: Wedding bands Post by: Barry Scott on Wednesday, December 9, 2009, 23:49:02 I remember years ago someone i know was after a band called Risky Business, which we saw at a Barn Dance and they were pretty good. Although it was over 10 years ago, so they could be long gone! :)
Title: Re: Wedding bands Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 08:51:54 I do know a couple of good bands that do covers but arent particularly cheap.

No church, just simple civil ceremony and big lash up after. Title: Re: Wedding bands Post by: blah blah on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 12:51:26 A band called Penfold played at my wedding a few years ago, my brother in law was the drummer so we got them very cheap :). They've changed a bit now though as they don't have a keyboard player so their stuff is a bit rockier. I haven't seen them for a couple of years so not sure what stuff they're playing nowadays. Could still be worth a look though. http://www.myspace.com/penfoldtheband penfold played at our rugby club ball last summer, thought they were really good. Lots of get up and jump around sort of songs that even I had the occasional stagger to. That may have been the 6X though.... Title: Re: Wedding bands Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 13:05:15 ahhhh thats looks lovely
Title: Re: Wedding bands Post by: Arriba on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 13:32:53 another vote for penfold here.my mate had them play at his wedding in the summer and they were very good.
i'd recomend my sisters band the mill but they do older stuff. Title: Re: Wedding bands Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 13:45:18 cheers. not so fussed if they're cheap or not, more that they're good!

Title: Re: Wedding bands Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 16:00:23 another vote for penfold here.my mate had them play at his wedding in the summer and they were very good. I also know someone who had Penfold play at their wedding in the summer. Wasn't in Wroughton was it? Title: Re: Wedding bands Post by: trogladite on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 20:53:00 Probably better to skimp on the entertainment and invest in a decent lawyer to arrange the prenups.
Or, a newish phenomenon. Put the money in a running away fund. When I found out married couples did this, I freaked. Cynical I am but that's mercenary to the extreme. Title: Re: Wedding bands Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Tuesday, January 22, 2013, 20:23:15 BUMP!! I need help, I had 2 bands in mind Avanti and the What 4s but neither can do our date??
