Based in Maynooth, Leinster (57 miles from Kilkenny) Luke Bolger - Wedding Photo of KokoSax KokoSax "Booking Koko was very easy and fast, an amazing sax player and made us feel amazing ." Based in Dublin, Leinster (63 miles from Kilkenny) 5th April 2026 Katie - 21st birthday Photo of Dave Murphy Dave Murphy "had a fad night Billy Joel songs where amazing then done sometimes when we touch and was brilliant. and version of grace was amazing if he was in dublin I go every weekend" Based in Cork, Munster (73 miles from Kilkenny) George cornally - hotel bar Photo of Dar.Ra Dar.Ra "Hype Magazine USA Cure For Jealousy A perfectly polished storyteller in the literal sense, Dar.Ra goes for this wild swing of ‘80s dance-rock infused with edge on the stomping sweetness of “Cure For Jealousy.” The track combines a range of periods and influences, ensuring the sound works seamlessly as a cohesive, concise whole. Volume is a given; he brings it, and it is a physical sound, like the way blood rushes through the ears with the first few traces of jealousy. Looking through his track record, he’s managed to touch upon every iteration of dance and rock within the last forty years, and has done it well. Outside of the music, he’s the author of two books, which also inform the character studies that he graces with his sound. It is catchy, addictive, and liberating stuff, the sort of thing that the music world needs now – something unique, experimental yet accessible, and overflowing with ideas. Sonically, Dar.Ra’s sound draws on the revivalist traditions of DFA Records, specifically on LCD Sound-System’s earnest pleas and search for meaning. Like James Murphy, Dar.Ra does have a love for the aesthetics of just a gigantic canvas, letting the whole arrangement feel enormous. On the classic side, the insistent bass has an ESG quality, with the groove absolutely dominating. It is easy to get intoxicated by the atmosphere, and the vocals further sell this idea of breaking free from this impairment. The tautness of the groove even delves into Parliament’s most unhinged experiments, as the track sparkles with endless creativity. For all these reference points, Dar.Ra continues his fine tradition of marching to the beat of a different drummer, going for this life-affirming, soulful stance. The stormy mix of keyboards and the tight rhythm section work their magic. Before his voice enters the equation, the mood is already set. When he takes center stage, the song transforms into an inner turmoil. He’s conflicted, and the verses cascade downwards reflecting exactly that. It stuns, and the track’s length makes the atmosphere almost psychedelic. Of course, this is what good dance music is meant to embody – endless expanses, endless possibilities. There is a reason so many dance-floors adhere to that sixto-seven-minute mark, even exceeding it when necessary. The band's interplay feels spirited, as if possessed, and this is what carries it all the way to the finale: a contemplative commotion. “Cure For Jealousy” shows that Dar.Ra is what music needs right now – a sound that draws and builds on the past while pointing a way forward, in a purely hedonistic, funk/dance/punk flavour." Based in Aberystwyth, Wales, United Kingdom (134 miles from Kilkenny) 20th April 2026 Hype Magazine USA - Kusha Deep Music UK Photo of Rebecca Rose Cellist Rebecca Rose Cellist "We booked Rebecca for our wedding and she was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was so friendly, easy to talk to, and kept in regular contact in the lead-up to the day, which really put us at ease. Her song list was fantastic, with so many beautiful choices — but what meant the most to us was that she learned my walk-in song especially for the reception. It was such a magical moment and truly added something unforgettable to our day. Her performance was stunning, and so many of our guests commented on how talented she is. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re thinking about booking her, do it — she helped make our wedding perfect." Based in Stourport-on-Severn, England, United Kingdom (210 miles from Kilkenny) 16th November 2025 Afeera Aslam - Wedding Photo of Bongo With The Flow Bongo With The Flow "The absolute highlight of our wedding in Mallorca! His incredible bongo skills lit up the dance floor, blending perfectly with the DJ and keeping everyone dancing all night."
