Reviews of Classic Rock Bands available in Kilkenny

5/5 from 446 reviews
Photo of Fierce Weddings Fierce Weddings "When scouting for a wedding band for our big day, my little sister suggested that I check these guys out, as she had seen them live a few times across various venues in the South East. She knew the brief and by god did these guys meet (and exceed) it. We wanted some class music and a vibe that everyone would remember, not just another generic wedding set. Fierce mild clearly do NOT do generic 🤣 far from it! Ailise and Andrew were there from 1pm until 1am the following morning, going from truly beautiful acoustic sets for our ceremony (bringing many tears to many eyes) and drinks reception to rocking it up with the main band for our evening celebrations before ending the night with a cracking DJ set. These guys literally did not stop all day! I got to really enjoy my “father-daughter” dance as Andrew, Ailise and the band learned “sweet child of mine” by Guns and Roses especially for the occasion. To say my dad was surprised (and delighted) would be putting it mild. What made it even more special was having several friends and family members come up to ask who the band were and how they had never had such a good time dancing at a wedding (and considering it was blistering hot that day in the marquee, I will take that as a massive compliment). If you are looking for a band with some real soul, real edge, then look no further! Would recommend them 100%! Can we do it all again? 🥹" Based in Waterford, Munster (28 miles from Kilkenny) 19th October 2026 Kayleigh Walsh Photo of Morning Glory Morning Glory "Absolutely brilliant band, Paul has liams vocals, presence, swagger, and attitude, down to perfection, The best oasis tribute band by a country mile,🎸🎤🎼" Based in Dublin, Leinster (63 miles from Kilkenny) Paul bergin - Recent morning glory performance, Joe lee’s co.

Hiring classic rock bands is a popular choice for weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, pub and bar gigs, festivals and any event where high-energy live music is the focus. Classic rock has universal appeal and works particularly well for audiences who enjoy guitar-driven music.

Rock bands are generally louder than acoustic or jazz acts. Most classic rock bands can adjust their volume to suit the venue, and many carry equipment that allows them to control sound levels. It is a good idea to discuss any noise restrictions or volume concerns with the band before booking.

Most classic rock bands are self-contained and provide their own instruments, amplifiers and PA system for standard event venues. For larger stages or outdoor events, additional sound and monitoring equipment may be needed. To get the best results, confirm technical requirements with the band.
