Wedding Band Northern Ireland
The Usual Suspects: Live Music - So Good It´s Criminal
The Usual Suspects - The superb three-piece wedding band and corporate event band from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Specialising in providing music for all tastes, The Usual Suspects have become immensely popular for Wedding receptions, private parties and corporate events as well as hotels, pubs and clubs.
A Wide Range Of Music To Suit All Tastes
Small, yet beautifully formed, this band of three lads, whose mission is to entertain and love every minute of it, play a wide rang of popular music from 50´s music, 60´s music, 70´s music, 80´s music, 90´s music and the best of music from the "Noughties" (2000 - present!)
Trust Your Wedding Entertainment To Experienced Professionals
And, with over 20 years experience each, playing Ireland North and South, they know exactly what it takes to make sure your event is one everyone will remember!
The lads have a sound and lighting system that is powerful enough for the most demanding of venues, while flexible enough to fit the most intimate of ocassions. This has been borne out as The Usual Suspects continue to play everywhere from the largest and most exciting of Ireland´s night clubs and dance halls to the most sophisticated bars and the cosiest of lounges.
Usual Suspects play the May Day Marathon Gig At Ormeau Park
Date: 05 May 2008
We´re just back from the all day party at Ormeau Park where the all the participants of the 2008 Belfast City Marathon crossed the finishing line. And all credit to each and every one of them! It was a great day and the sun was beaming from beginning to end.
On Stage at Ormeau Park´s Marathon Fun Day
We played an hour´s set of our usual rock and pop - keeping it rocking despite Stevie´s amp playing silly buggers!
We were ably followed by the fantastic band "13" who had everyone bouncing to their dance beats. A particularly good version of Scouting for Girls´ "She´s so lovely" there guys and gal!
Marty Fay and The Banditos finished off the day in super style, beautifully suited and booted as if they´d just finished at a wedding and hadn´t had time to change! Marty and the boys delivered a polished performance. Marty´s tremendous voice soared through their version of my all time favourite song - Journey´s "Don´t Stop Believing" (the original version, not the recent sacrilegious dance version!).
John & Stevie get set up before the crowds arrive.
Seamy & Stevie - "Is this one in C or D?"
John can´t believe the size of the crowd! Can you? ;-P
