Based in Drogheda, Leinster (94 miles from Sligo) Jimmy Norris Warrington Photo of Pure Blarney Pure Blarney "Just a note from myself though, we knew the band was great and would go down amazingly with our guests - but we were not prepared for how well they were received!! So many compliments about you guys! Review for you to use: We had pure blarney play at our wedding and what an experience!! They were absolutely outstanding. The dance floor was full the entire time - you literally couldn’t stop for a break because every song they played was phenomenal. They were so interactive with the guests and created the most amazing atmosphere. They genuinely have such a talent for what then do - their instruments, their singing and their ability to sustain such high energy. Absolutely faultless!" Based in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom (97 miles from Sligo) Barry Taggart - Wedding Photo of Asgards Traditional Irish Music Asgards Traditional Irish Music "We had the Asgards play at the day 2 of our wedding in September to a mixed audience of British and Irish guests and they were absolutely phenomenal! We really wanted our guests to experience some traditional Irish music as part of our wedding celebration and Asgards were the perfect band for that!" Based in Kildare, Leinster (100 miles from Sligo) 23rd October 2026 Cathyrn & Donal - Wedding Day 2, Tyrrellstown House, Dublin
