Carmel & Ryans Wedding Rocked The Boat!
Date: 02 February 2010
We received a lovely note of thanks from Carmel & Ryan, who got married at Lough Eske, Donegal, recently.
"Just a quick note to say thank you so much for the wonderful performance at our wedding.
The band were fantastic at playing to suit the crowd and was enjoyed by all.
I was over the moon with the amount of people that were out dancing.
There were uncles of mine dancing that I haven’t seen on a dance floor in twenty years!!
I will definitely be recommending the Usual Suspects to anyone both personal and business contacts.
The pictures of rock the boat are just class.
Well done on the great website too."
Many thanks again for your kind comments, Carmel & Ryan.
Everyone Loved To Rock The Boat! Including Carmel at front and centre!
The first Usual Suspect Baby Arrives!
Date: 16 November 2009
We had a full weekend off this week.
As big Davy Maguire ( the best drummer in Ireland ) would joke..
"It was our first weekend off in 6 years and the last for another 6 years"
Anyway, during a night out on the town, I met Denise. We played at Denise and Micks wedding down in Athlone some time ago and they sent us a lovely note of thanks.
I recall it was a great night. We stayed over and got rat-faced in the residents bar along with the wedding guests!
A new arrival
Denise was telling me they´ve a new addition to the family - a lovely daughter. So, congratulations to both her and to Mick.
Is this our first suspect baby?
It got me wondering. Is this the first Usual Suspect Wedding Baby? I wonder how many of the other happy couples have added to their number? We´d love to hear from them again if they´ve heard the patter of tiny feet since we last saw them.
I´d also like to give off if they didn´t book us for the christening do!!
Wedding Band Scotland provide Frankie Boyle with laughs!
Date: 12 October 2009
Our good online friend Marj of Atlantic Soul, the biggest and best wedding band Scotland has to offer, was telling me about a recent gig she did. And guess who was in the audience? Only the brilliant comedian Frankie Boyle.
Now, Frankie is, by a clear mile, my most favourite comedian at the moment. His razor sharp material is so cutting and so funny that I usually find it hard to breath when I´m listening to his routines.
If it walks like a duck, it must be a duck. Right?
But the story gets better. It seems that Marj gave Frankie some free laughs and some great material when she started making fun of the dancing style of a bloke in the audience.
It seems that the bloke was shuffling around the dance floor in such an awkward way that Marj couldn´t help but slag the life out of the guy´s dancing.
Until someone descretely informed Marj that the poor guy was blind and autistic!
One person´s misfortune is another´s comedy material
Poor Marj was mortified. But Frankie Boyle, well he was doubled in two laughing! Not only that, but the whole scenario was recounted by Frankie during his next appearance on Mock The Week.
For A Wedding Band in Scotland - Atlantic Soul are the best!
Marj and all the lads and lassies in Atlantic Soul are delighted that the story made it into Frankies repertoire!
They´re probably the busiest wedding band in Scotland, but I´m not so sure they´ll be moving into providing comedy moments again for some time to come!
The best wedding speech joke ever!
Date: 05 October 2009
I heard the best wedding speech joke of all last weekend.
During the best man´s speech, he was was recounting how he had noticed the father of the bride becoming emotional during the wedding ceremony.
The bride´s father became nostalgic about his soon-to-be-wed daughter...
"I was just thinking back to when my daughter was a little girl. And what a lovely child she was.
I can remember that her favourite plaything was a Kermit The Frog stuffed toy. She took that frog everywhere. In fact, she wouldn´t go to sleep at night without Kermit The Frog lying beside her on her pillow."
The best man listened sympathetically...
"And I was just thinking," the bride´s father continued, "how history seems to repeat itself."
"How´s that?" asked the best man.
"Well," said the father of the bride, "I was just recalling that, 20 years ago, I was sending my daughter to bed with a muppet. "
"And here we are 20 years later, I´m doing the same thing all over again!!!!."
