Photo of Surefire Wedding Band & DJs Ireland Surefire Wedding Band & DJs Ireland "Hi Roy (Al & Adam), I just wanted to take this brief moment of calm to respond to your lovely email and to thank you for all of your work last weekend! From the minute people arrived and heard the ukuleles out back, to your energetic and enthusiastic performance, right through to your fun and entertaining DJ set, we couldn’t have asked for more from the 3 of you. It was a real pleasure to have you play at our wedding, and we could not have asked for a more obliging, professional, and fun group of musicians to carry the celebrations for the evening. So again, thank you for what you brought to Borris House on what was really the best day of our lives." Based in Dublin, Leinster (162 miles from Clonakilty) Emma & Tommy Earls - Wedding Photo of Kiki Music Collective Kiki Music Collective "Phenomenal from the moment we booked them to the final song of the night. We had them perform throughout our entire wedding day and it was like having three different magical experiences all in one. Kiki sang solo during our ceremony and gave us the most emotional, unforgettable moment walking down the aisle. Then, for the drinks reception, the duo created the perfect relaxed, happy vibe that had everyone smiling. And later, the full band brought the party to life in a way we’ll never forget and the dance floor was packed all night long. What really set them apart beyond the unreal vocals and musical talent was how much thought and care went into the planning. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, she just handled and as a Bride planning a wedding, it's priceless. We’ve had so much positive feedback how Kiki connected with every moment so if you’re thinking about booking them you will not be disappointed. Kiki Music Collective were a massive highlight of our day and there were many but they made it feel so special, personal, and unforgettable. Thank you for everything Kiki and Mumager and the Boyz - I just want to do it all again!" Based in Liverpool, England, United Kingdom (277 miles from Clonakilty) Hilary Waller - Wedding Photo of The Hound Dogs The Hound Dogs "No words I write can do these guys justice as to just how amazing they are. The Hound dogs played at our wedding and EVERYONE loved them. The band had everyone up dancing and singing along. Nigel was fantastic, it was all very easy booking the band and selecting what songs we liked. We also used them to DJ after the band had finished playing, again, all our favourite songs were played and everyone was up dancing. We had the pleasure of having Nigel play at a 30th a few years ago and having him and the band play at our wedding was just fantastic. They sounded and looked amazing and were lovely to talk to. The band left everyone wanting more and they were only too happy to oblige when everyone chanted for 'one more song'. Thanks again for being part of our day ❤️" Based in Warminster, England, United Kingdom (290 miles from Clonakilty) Katharine Dudley-Dapson - Wedding Photo of The Fourmost The Fourmost "I just thought I’d drop you a line to congratulate you on the tremendous contribution The Fourmost made to our recent cruise aboard the Celebrity Eclipse. The set you performed on Deck 3 in the foyer on the Sunday was really fantastic and I’m sure you’ll have appreciated the enthusiastic reception and sing-a-long that accompanied it. It was, after the technical issues you encountered, certainly well worth waiting for and a positive highlight of the weekend’s entertainment. So after an extended break to include visiting my partner’s new grandson, I’m now back at home and have been checking your website for future concerts near our home in York and to see if any live performances were available on CD that would provide a lasting reminder of the weekend. Sadly at the present time, it would appear that there are no concerts in our area and it may be we have to leave it until you’re in Whitby next year. Even more disappointing though, is the discovery that you have no live material on CD – do you have any plans to release any ? Anyway that aside, let me congratulate you once again, wish you all the best for the remainder of your 2019 gigs and most of all, thank you for keeping the music alive." Based in Leyland, England, United Kingdom (296 miles from Clonakilty) George Sewell - Celebrity Eclipse Cruise Photo of Signing Off - UB40 Tribute Band Signing Off - UB40 Tribute Band "Absolutely incredible band from start to finish! Their sound and attention to detail is impeccable to ub40! You can close your eyes and think you’re watching the real ub40 that’s how close they are! We saw them multiple times now and definitely won’t be our last!!! Watch out for these guys n gals they are incredible" Based in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom (302 miles from Clonakilty) Mr.L - Theatre Photo of Jacarandas - Wedding & Party Band Jacarandas - Wedding & Party Band "Thank you so much for last night, you guys were amazing. Everyone has said how great the music was. Hope you all got home OK!" Based in Bradford, England, United Kingdom (333 miles from Clonakilty) 21st April 2026 Harriet & Josh - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring oldies bands is €600, with prices from €170 to €2,500+. Pricing depends on band size, performance length and the range of decades covered. Oldies bands typically perform hits from the 1950s through to the 1980s and vary from compact trios to larger groups with multiple vocalists.

The oldies bands in Clonakilty, Munster, Ireland typically cover hits from the 1950s through to the 1980s, including rock and roll, doo-wop, Motown, pop, disco and classic rock. Many bands offer a broad greatest-hits style setlist that touches on multiple decades of popular music.

Most bookings place the band after the meal and the speeches, once guests are ready to be on their feet. An earlier slot works for a daytime event or where something lighter is wanted while people arrive. The booking is normally split into two performances with a gap between, so the room can eat or move.

Most stay close to the records, since recognition is the whole point, though tempos are often lifted a little for a dance floor. Some acts modernise the backing while keeping the melody, which suits a younger crowd. Asking which approach an act takes is worth doing, as it changes the feel more than the song list does.

Many oldies bands can tailor their setlist to focus on a particular era if requested. Whether the event calls for 1960s Motown, 1970s disco or a broader oldies mix, most bands are flexible. It is advisable to discuss your preferences when making an enquiry.

Most oldies bands provide their own instruments, amplifiers and PA system for standard event spaces. For larger venues or outdoor events, additional sound equipment may be needed. It is worth confirming technical details before booking.

The repertoire is built to be recognised, so a mixed-age room usually finds common ground faster than it would with a single-genre act. Older guests get the original hits and younger ones know most of them from film and television. Where one age group dominates, say so, and the band can weight the set rather than spreading it thin.

Hiring oldies bands is ideal for birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, weddings, corporate events, retirement parties and any occasion where nostalgia and sing-along favourites will get guests on their feet. Most bands have a broad repertoire that can be tailored to the age group and tastes of the audience.
