GoodFellas

Co. Meath
 
At one time or another, the four members of Goodfellas have graced a stage with many household names, including Bob Geldof, Jerry-Lee Lewis, Westlife, Marianne Faithful, Roger Whittaker, Shane McGowan and home-grown stars like Paddy Cole, Dickie Rock, Linda Martin, Johnny Logan, The Rat Pack, Brendan Bowyer, Red Hurley, Rob Strong, Simon Casey, Chris Doran…the list goes on.... After years providing professional backing for other artists they decided to form a band of their own. The music is completely live - something they feel VERY strongly about. No tricks, no tracks - just great LIVE music. Couples often say they like the band's friendly and fun attitude. While it makes Goodfellas very easy to talk to, you can rest assured that this is a solid group of professionals who know their craft, and who will endeavour to compliment your big day with a big night - a night to remember for you and for your guests! Goodfellas deliver a bespoke, high energy set, carefully tailored to your exact crowd – something they're very proud of. Visually, the band sport smart suits when they play, because they believe that if the couple is going to the effort of getting dressed up, they should too! Their comprehensive website (www.goodfellasband.ie) features        live video  The GoodFellas Good Wedding Ideas page and Top Tips Countless testimonials from REAL happy clients A gallery of REAL brides on their REAL wedding day Their now-legendary Wedding Band Bible, which  is an absolute must-read for any couple, to help you in your search for the perfect band for your perfect day. This means you can do a lot of the groundwork from the comfort of your own home, before you go out to see anyone play live. Each of the four lads is a full-time, career musician, an increasingly rare commodity in these troubled times. They are now, and have been for years, close friends offstage as well as on, and this definitely comes across in their live performance, with an energy and attitude that simply isn't present when band members are just workmates.

Hi Mick
Just wanted to say a big thanks to you & the band. You were brilliant and all the songs you chose for us were perfect and suited the whole crowd. You catered for everyone as i love oldies & keith loves rock so he was delighted with the Metallica & U2 tracks you played, just to mention a few. The dance floor was packed all night & everyone was raving about how good you were. We had an amazing night and cannot thank you enough for helping to make our wedding so great. We will have no hesitation in recommending you to our friends and family in the future. You were all a pleasure to deal with and so helpful with any advise we needed.Many Thanks again.

Myself and Gary just wanted to say thanks for playing at our wedding on the 27th July.
You were so great to deal with in the lead up to the wedding, always professional and very helpful in dealing with any query. All the guests have been raving about how great the band were but of course we knew that all along!!!
Its the little things that you did on the night that make you guys stand out from all the other bands, allowing Gary to play his song and you guys providing the backing music for him. He was so delighted to be able to do it, it was such a special touch for both of us. I remember when i fell and hurt my ankle you changed the song and got the crowds attention and diverted the attention away from me making a fool of myself and for that I am extremely grateful!! :)
It was an absolutely fabulous day and Goodfella's had a big imput into making it such a fabulous day. We will have absolutely be recommending you to as many people that will listen to us!!
Thank you thank you thank you for all your hard work

Hi all, just wanted to say a few things about the band Goodfellas. They played at myself and Noel's wedding on Sat 19th March this year and l have to say, they were just unbelievable!!! The dance floor was jam packed all night!! The minute they started playing the floor was never empty. Thought l was being biased about them being just the best band ever....but got so many compliments about them that they just deserve the best recommendation ever! Couldn't of been happier with the music and pure gents to deal with!!! You just couldn't go wrong. So rest assured, you won't have to worry one bit, full dance floor assured with Goodfellas!!!!! Thanks you so much guys!!!! Best of luck and would love to see you again!!!!!!xxx

Having worked alongside hundreds of band in many styles and shapes, I have found this band to be the best band in Ireland. Time after time they rouse crowd all over Ireland with a collection of music that leaves nothing to be desired. When you find your first song of the night hard to equate this bands last you know you have a gem of a band preceding you.

We had the Goodfellas play at our wedding at Markree Castle on August 18th. They were absolutely fantastic. From the first song up until they finished they kept everyone dancing and it was just great fun. Their selection of music really suited the crowd.
In terms of the run up to our wedding, The Goodfellas were really easy to work with and gave you a real sense that if there was one thing you don't need to worry about, it was the band! Feel free to tell them what type of music you want or particular songs you want played.
Well worth it. Fully recommend these guys! Thanks a million for keeping our guests entertained!

Hi Mick & lads,
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for doing such a fabulous job of our wedding in June. You managed to get everyone up and rocking (despite just having had a big feed ;o) and somehow keep them all on the dance floor!
Also, thanks for changing our first dance at the very last minute and thanks to Mick especially, for being such a wealth of wedding-related information!
It was a pleasure working with ye!

Wow!
Goodfellas were fantastic. Thanks so much for providing us with great entertainment on Friday 5th March 10. We had a small wedding but that didn't make a difference as the band played such a great variety of songs that the dancefloor was the place to be! In the lead up to the wedding, Mick was so helpful, taking calls from me at very unsociable hours! Ronan also played the piano in the church and it was amazing. Overall the lads were fantastic, really made our day a memorable one, thank you.
(Mick, good luck for your own wedding - we hope you both will be very happy!)

We want to thank you again for sorting out our little problem with the dj.Thanks again for everything you really made our wedding unforgettable for us and everyone who came to celebrate with us. We really hope to see you again soon, thanks again.
