Kick-ass bands!

Hi ladies,

I am helping a friend plan her wedding and I'm hoping that she can learn from my mistakes, namely hiring a useless DJ :( I now know that music is the single most impotant factor in throwing a great party (as least in my humble opinion) which is why I am coming to you for recommendations for a band that will keep everyone on the dancefloor and can play everything from Elvis to Madonna to Frank Sinatra to Kings of Leon to Beyonce...you get the pictuure! And this is a bit random, but if you happen to know of any bands that can do the aforementioned PLUS play traditional Scottish/Celtic music, well that would be just swell! A longshot, I know...

Hope you can help!

    The band we had at our wedding was amazing and played a ton of music! You are very nice to help your friend. There is nothing worse than a bad DJ (that stinks that you had one!). Our band was Soul Revival. They have showcases pretty frequently so your friend could see them live too. www.soulrevivalband.com HTH! Rose

    Soul System., very good but probably pricey.  Band leader was drummer for Skid Row.  Also, Dr. Mudd, great band.  They play locally and are extremely affordable but I don't think they have done many weddings.  Good luck!!

    We loved our band www.thetouchpage.com and highly recommend them.  I know Eileen Fogarty and the Very Best does a lot of Irish music.  We saw them at a bar in Nyack and they were pretty good and they do a lot of weddings.
