There you go Throughsilver, your day off from work wasn't wasted at all as it contributed to the subtitle of the new Bits and Bobs thread.

Anyway, where were we?

Nah.

I'll take a good band over 100 DJs personally.

So would I, if it was 100 of the ones you hire

Can't beat a live gig/live music IMO.

Sometimes when we were booked to fill in at weddings while the band was taking a break (because, apparently, being a band is really hard and you need to rest a lot) we would lead off with the song the band had just finished, or - if we'd sneaked a look at their song list - we'd end with the one they were going to start with. This quickly proved just how fucking band most bands are. And we'd always - always - be louder than they were. We were well grown up

Also all of them would ask us if they could use our lights. Why didn't you bring any of your own, dicks?

Oh, apart from when I was at a wedding where Ash played a few songs. They were right good.

The last wedding I went to the band were amazing. £2500 though, I'm not going to pay that to see them again for an hour...

Ah, it was PMs from a while ago, on or around Mon Apr 06, 2009 10:12 pm. Which i recalled incorrectly.

That's a fucking odd name for a band.

Rolling Stones?

Cavey · **Posted:** Tue Nov 13, 2012 17:03

Well, we knew the band we hired were dead aces like, from previous New Years Eve parties at La Belle Epoque. Cost a couple of grand IIRC but were worth every single penny of that; they played for at least 4-5 hours and were utterly, utterly awesome.

I've nothing against good DJs but totes stand by what I said. You cannot beat the sound, excitement, interaction or atmos of live performed music in my opinion, simple as.

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Nov 13, 2012 17:05

Fair enough. Cover bands have just always made me cringe.

I've been having this debate with some friends recently because one of my friends is arranging her wedding and trying to decide between band or DJ. Personally, I would have DJ, then ceilidh band, then DJ. I was at a wedding a couple of months ago that had a band that were great and did a wide variety of music but there are always limits to what they can do. A DJ can play anything though. I think my friend has decided to have a DJ playing music for all ages, before finishing with a rave for the last hour. It's going to be brilliant!

Someone pop round with some crisps for me? There's a love.

Oh, and some Diet Coke too.

GazChap · **Posted:** Tue Nov 13, 2012 17:21

I went to a wedding recently with MrsChap. Normally I hate weddings, especially the receptions, as they're just DJs or bands and because you don't really know many people everyone just sticks to their own group.

However, this wedding featured a ceilidh band and they were awesome, offering instruction and guidance on ho to complete the actual dances, and they mixed the groups up so people got to know each other a bit better - it was far more inclusive than a typical reception.

Want me to lick all the flavour off your crisps while I'm at it?

The problem with making sure everyone gets on and feels included in the wedding, is that as the groom, I don't give a shit

I know everyone, that's good enough for me

Really?

I doubt you know the girl I'll be bringing as my +1. I don't even know her yet.

In that case, the previous sentence stands true.

The best weddings I've been to have had a caeligh or similar dance. Get a good caller and almost everyone will hit the floor having a great time.

Would that be pronounced "kay-lee"?

Forgive my englishness

That's how it should be spelt, aye.

Great! MrsA has bought her two quite fit single friends around. And they have 4 bottles of wine. I've retreated to the pub for a bit.

She brings her fit mates around for an engagement present foursome... AND YOU LEAVE???

Curio's right, Mali, that's totally what was happening. It's an engagement tradition, we've all been there.

I like that my genuine replies to Trooper have disappeared into the ether so that TheVision could spam his way to "getting" a new B&B thread.

TheVision · **Posted:** Wed Nov 14, 2012 0:22

I think my spamming was quite efficient. I only 'used' 2 spam posts really.. The second being the first post on page 100. I bet my bosses would be pleased, knowing that they're paying me to spam the forum.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49244

Guess how pleased mine would be, knowing they're paying me to 'run' the place.

The one I started in the past seemed pretty arduous going for people. I think it was the longest B&B ever.

What better way to put that right!
