The Gramophone Social has been running since 2021 and we have played many Day 2, Drinks Receptions and Corporate Events in that time. 

The Gramophone Social consists of two original hand-cranked gramophones from the early 1900s, vintage microphone and original records spanning the early 1900s to the 1950s. The sound is unique to the gramophones and whilst it’s not high fidelity it is super vibrant and it gives a very different connection to the music.

The gramophones play 78 rpm records with Ragtime, Jazz, Swing, Doo Wop and early Rock and Roll. It is a perfect backdrop to any Day 2 event from a Barbeque to music over dinner. I often do 2 hour sets with The Gramophone Social followed by a 2 hour set of modern music using modern equipment. 

Apart from the sound the gramophones add a super backdrop to any event and really add to the atmosphere.

Paul Feery – One Man Band

day two entertainment

At my one man band shows, I perform a wide variety of styles including pop, rock n’ roll, indie, country, Irish ballads and upbeat Irish songs. A good mix but also playing to the crowd. My goal is always to get everyone off their chairs singing and dancing.

I’m also the baritone vocalist of The Three Tenors Ireland. https://threetenorsireland.com/ We perform nationwide each year in venues such as the Mill Theatre, National Concert Hall, Cork Opera House etc. as well as many Churches and Cathedrals around the country.

I don’t use backing tracks. I perform vocals and guitar live through a professional PA system and provide professional lighting. Some of the best nights have been when guests join me to sing a song of their choice, while I accompany them on guitar. It’s great fun. (I always keep a spare microphone and stand ready!)
