How do I book Gerry?
There are several options for booking Gerry depending on your event and time constraints. It can be as simple as a phone call and we can send you a written confirmation via post or email. You can even book him online by filling in our online booking form.

How far will Gerry travel?
Although based in Sligo, Gerry regularly plays around the Northwest (Sligo, Mayo and Donegal). However, he is available to play dates all across Ireland. Gerry has played in every county of Ireland in the past forty years.

We also need a DJ, can you help me?
We pride ourselves on being able to offer a full range of services to our clients. This includes pre-event receptions to a DJ to help finish off the perfect wedding reception. One of the advantages of using these services is that there is only one set of equipment to set up and absolutely no break between the band and the DJ. You are assured of consistently high quality entertainment from the beginning to end of your event, and more importantly, it will cost you less.

How much time does Gerry need to set up?
Although it takes only takes 30-40 minutes to set up the equipment, he generally arrives much earlier to ensure he has time to run through a sound and equipment check before your guests arrive. He does this to ensure your event will not be interrupted by set up, or the evening spoiled by faulty equipment, poor sound, or any other possible musical mishap. Gerry requests that the stage is available at least one hour prior to the start of your event. For a typical wedding, Gerry is ready to start approximately one hour after the stage is available for set up, but we would prefer to set up in the afternoon, before the reception starts, if the hotel allows it.

How Long Will Gerry Play?
For weddings, he generally plays between two and two and a half hours. However, the simple answer to the question is, "as long as it takes!" He can tailor his program to be as long or short as your event requires. For corporate events and parties he can play up to three hours if it is arranged in advance.

Does Gerry use stage lighting?
He has invested in a full professional 3,000 watt DMX/MIDI stage lighting system. Because of his unique MIDI system, the lighting is actually built into the show on a song by song basis. Gerry can also provide a sound-to-light system to light the dance floor for the disco if he is providing that service. The goal is to provide the most exciting visual presentation possible for your event.

What is Gerry's dress code?
As a professional musicians, he understands the importance of dressing suitably for every event. When you book Gerry for your event, we ask you to specify your preference.

Do you cater for all age groups?
As you can see from his extensive set lists, Gerry can provide music for all ages in all genres. With over 40 years of playing experience, he has played everything from folk to pop to country to blues and rock 'n roll. Sets can be custom tailored for your audience and include hits from the 50's and 60's right up to the present day charts, as well as country, ballads, and folk.

How can we be sure you will do what you say?
Gerry understands that when you are organizing an event (whether a wedding, corporate function, or party) you have plenty to worry about without thinking about the music. To ensure your event will be musically trouble free, he gives you a full description of what he will do in your confirmation and he guarantees he will do everything he say, when he says.

In the past I have been at events where the band was very loud, how loud is Gerry?
As mentioned above, he has a unique sound system which allows him to control every facet of the performance. He has played in every type and size of venue and can be as quiet as background music, or loud enough (without being too loud) to "rock the house." The 2000 watt sound system is capable of providing the best musical experience "from a whisper to a scream."

My uncle does a mean Frank Sinatra, do you allow singers from the crowd?
We leave this choice to you, however we would suggest that keeping guest singers to a minimum will help keep the evening's entertainment moving. If desired, we can provide full Karaoke backing tracks if you will tell us in advance what songs will be performed. We have a full range of Karaoke tracks available as part of our DJ service.
