Hi, my name is Lindsay O'Malley and I have been playing music for 14 years, having studied at boarding school and at the Royal College of Music in London. I play a variety of Classical, jazz, Folk, Ska, Reggae and funk styles. I have played at a few weddings, and I can either choose a programme to suit you or what I prefer to do is ask you what some of your, or your partners favourite love songs are. I then have a consultation with you briefly to talk through any problems or thoughts and play you a couple. This can be months before, just so to make sure we are all happy and the gig is booked. Then I will meet you on the day and either play in the corner out in a garden somewhere after the speeches, or whatever suits you.

If anyone is interested in meeting me to talk about me playing at your wedding then feel free to pm me and we can have a chat about prices and availability. I am taking bookings for next summer. But may be able to fit you in this summer.

Alternatively I play with a Saxophone Quartet and also a 11 piece ska band who all take bookings.

Hiya

Long term Sheffield Forummer here! I've got lots of experience in DJing weddings so your special day will be enjoyable and fun.

I arrange to meet you in advance of the day - so we can discuss how you'd like the evening to run, you can tell me which songs you'd like to hear on the night, whether you'd want a special song playing, how much talking on the mic you'd like, and so on. At the end of the day, you tell me what you'd like to happen and I'll do my utmost to make sure it flows smoothly. Or if you haven't a clue what you want, talk to me and we can come up with a cunning plan!

I can cover the Sheffield/Rotherham/Barnsley area.

PM me to start the ball rolling.

We have a website which can help you find an artist for your wedding day. Free advice and help

absynthfairy · 26-06-2007, 20:52

Hiya. I'll go first then!

I am advertising my services as a singer for your weddings...

I can offer two options...either myself and a live pianist (can supply own electric piano) singing soft ballads and popular songs - ideal background music for early part of reception/wedding breakfast or alternatively I can offer a set of pop/rock/disco songs for a more party atmosphere - or both!

I am in the process of buying my own PA so will be equipment ready and will hopefully soon have a lighting rig as well. I am happy to sit down with you and discuss songs you like and with enough notice can learn new songs if you have one that is particularly special to you.

My myspace music profile will be going live in the next couple of days with tracks recorded live on it so I shall post the link here.

In the meantime please contact me if you would like any more information.

String Quartet available for weddings. We can play for the ceremony (in church, or at a civil service), the drinks reception and then the meal as well if required. Prices are very competitive. Please PM or email me for more details.

JUNGLE LION SKA + REGGAE EXTRAVAGANZA!

Performing uplifting and powerful ska/reggae classics with a 5 peice brass section, a whole host of Bass riddled rhythm players and the Voice of the Rankin, this show is not to be missed!
Ideal for Festivals, Private Parties, Weddings, Functions, you name it...

We play a wide range of covers including popular classics by artists like The Specials, Bob Marley, Madness and Bad Manners, as well as other classics and rarities. We regularly pack out venues large and small and guarantee an energetic party atmosphere.

Review of Jungle Lion at Tramlines festival 2010:

"At West Street Live I was greeted with a hot and muggy pub, totally crammed with people, sweat dripping down the walls. Jungle Lion swept up the audience with their addictive ska rhythms and polished brass. I danced off my dinner and ruined my make-up, but it was worth it."

We are now seeking bookings for weddings or parties. We can offer a wide range of songs which can be split into a variety of sets (ideally 2 but works well as 3 too) and an infectious on stage energy that keeps people happy and dancing all night.

Money can be discussed - PA available if necessary.

References would not be a problem should you require them, and you can also check our website for reviews, gallery, recordings and gig dates...

Get in touch!

Rooooaaaaaaarrrrrrrr

Thanks!

Jukeboxhire · 24-07-2007, 22:00

Have you ever thought about hiring a jukebox for your wedding?

We've all had our ups and downs with DJ's, so why not let your guests be the DJ?

It will add to the fun of the day.

Hire a beautiful modern reproduction of the Classic 1940's Wurlitzer. It can hold up to 100 CD's and can be connected to a larger sound system if required, though it's pretty loud all by itself if you turn it up!

We will deliver, set it up and collect it. All you have to do is enjoy the party!

Feel free to pm us for a quote and availability.

It depends on what you're after, I've done small intimate locations, such as local pubs because the couple wanted to be in familiar surroundings with their friends and I've done larger country houses before.

The difficulty with using an in house DJ is that you don't necessarily know what you're going to get, their range of music, etc. You can't suss them out in advance. I try to speak to the couple before and undertake a consultation with them, encourage them to come to one of my shows so they can see me in action and give me a list of songs they would especially like to hear.

My advice is to say to the hotel that it's your special day and you want to have the party to meet your requirements. They ought to offer the consultation which I offer, if not then tell them that unless you can use your own DJ then they're going to lose your business - stamp your feet and speak to someone higher up the chain. You're the customer.

I'm doing a Wedding Anniversary party for a biker this weekend at a biker's pub. Can't wait!!!

amron · 27-09-2007, 09:11

We have "Roger the badger" for our wedding. What a great time we had. Hope yours is as good as ours was.

There is a hall at the top of Stannington. Church street i think it is. Its a very big hall divided into two, one for food as we did our own and one for the guests, tables etc included.
They will put a bar on by a local pub for a small cost.
There is a kitchen...it is a brilliant place.
I remember the charged being £400+ for the day. 9am-12midnight.

dont go over £300 what ever they tell you.

£250 is a good figure

the chazter · 23-10-2007, 21:30

the price quoted by a dj is dependent on distance time & the requirements of the client if they wanted to book a dj for just an evening party it would of course cost less than an all day event.
each wedding is unique so the dj must consult with the couple for there requirements .so you cannot just say the price will be x amount . at the end of the day its a once in a lifetime thing so you get what you pay for .
i always consult with the couple several times to update any special requirements.
its not just turn up play music get paid go home .
