On Saturday 29 June we played for Conor and Orla's wedding in Glengarriff, West Cork. It was an absolutely beautiful day, the sun was shining and the scenery was breathtaking. Orla's bridesmaids were beautiful in an almost-Cadbury's purple, with pew ends and car ribbons to match and needless to say the couple were fabulous too! Here's the music we played for the ceremony:
Bridesmaids Entrance: Arrival of the Queen of Sheba
Orla's Entrance: Here Comes The Bride
Candle Ceremonies: Gabriel's Oboe
Offertory: Ag Criost an Siol
Sign of Peace: Romanza from Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
Communion: Ave Maria (Schubert), Alleluia from Exultate Jubilate, Inis Oirr
Singing of the Register: Concerning Hobbits (from Lord of the Rings) and Married Life (from Up)
Recessional: All You Need Is Love
Bridesmaids Entrance: Arrival of the Queen of Sheba
Orla's Entrance: Here Comes The Bride
Candle Ceremonies: Gabriel's Oboe

Before we headed to the Glengarriff Eccles Hotel for the drinks reception, we stopped in the village for a quick lunch and had the privilege of seeing the newlyweds and bridal party pass in the beautiful open top wedding car and decorated convoy, horns blaring and drawing claps and cheers from the locals. The Cork Senior Football team also happened to be in Glengarriff and stopped for photos with a few people before hopping on to their coach - it was all go in town!
We then started up again in the hotel, and at the request of the groom played some of our rock music arrangements... Metallica, Sigur Ros, AC/DC, Fun, Coldplay, Muse, Journey with a bit of film music and more! We were perched in the perfect location, playing out on to the balcony where all the guests could enjoy the bay views and sunshine, and we had the bar right behind us so we were in the middle of all the action - it was almost hard to leave but all good things must come to an end! They then danced the night away to Bentley Boys Band and must have had a fabulous night - Congratulations Conor and Orla!!!!
