Hello, we are from Inishowen Co Donegal, Ireland. And Yes we really are brothers. We have been working together all our lives, writing, recording and playing music. Over the years we have gathered together a huge repertoire of music, doing what we love doing the most – playing guitars and entertaining audiences wherever we go.
In 2017 we released our third album. It features some of our orignal music, and is now availabe on itunes Amazon etc …
Q: How long does setup take?A: Roughly 30/40 Minutes. Q: What are your space and power requirements?A: Standard 13 amp plug. For weddings and big events we do need a fair size stage, but for pubs, we can squeeze into the corner. Q: Do you take requests?A: Yes or course.
Q – What kind of music do you cover?
A – We cover a lot of different genres of music, and we adapt or set to suit the audience in front of us. We do not work to a set program also we are always open to requests. We have added a sample of some of the songs we cover to the set list page. We will also provide background music at the start of the night and during the buffet as we find it helps to build up and keep the atmosphere going. Also remember never to underestimate the importance of your older guests and their style of music at your wedding reception, these people are usually the most willing to occupy the dance floor early in the night.
Q – Will the music be loud?
A – There is nothing worse than the music being to loud at a wedding reception. We can adapt our rig to suite the venue. We have always had a keen interest in sound and lighting, and we are both qualified sound engineers.
Q – We need a DJ, can you provide both the Band and the Disco?
A – Yes we can, and we can go from being a live band to being a disco with no time wasted in changing over. Kevin has worked for many years as a DJ and in radio broadcasting. Everything is set up from the start of the night, so when we finish the live set, with a big finale, then it’s straight into the disco to keep the party going.
Q – Presentation?
A- The overall presentation of the band is a high priority and encompasses such areas as dress, sound, lighting, punctuality and reliability. With formal stage wear for formal settings and smart casual attire for more informal occasions.
Q – How long do you play for?
A – Usually at a wedding we will play for two hours live, and for another two hours with the disco, depending on what time we are allowed to get started. This may vary depending on what way the event is running. We will work along with the Hotel staff and everyone involved.
(please note that most Hotels do have a finishing time for entertainment).
Q – What time do you start?
A- We do not hold you to a starting time. If you let us know the time your meal is booked for, then we will be ready in the back round to set uo as soon as the stage and room is ready.
Q – Can you hold a date for me?
A – The policy for booking is that the first person to pay a deposit will get the date. The balance must be paid on or before the day of the wedding.
If we do not receive confirmation within two weeks after an enquiry has been made, then it will be deleted, unless other arrangements have been made.
Q – Can we have guests up to sing?
A – Yes of course you can. During our show, there is no problem with guest singers performing and if needed we will provide backing music, but because this is your special day, Singers will only be invited up at the request of the bride and groom. Though we do find that too many may spoil the flow of the day.

Carl Dunne
We had the brothers play at our wedding this weekend, and they were great.! They played a variety of music to get everyone up on the dancefloor and was accomodating with requests, as well as feeling the room for when changes were needed to keep everyone entertained and dancing all night long. Thanks to these the dancefloor was never empty! We cannot thank them enough and would recommend to anyone in search of a great band that will ensure everyone has a great time!!

Kevin and Colm are two of the most dedicated and hard-working musicians on the scene for many years. Guaranteed to have you toe tapping and out on the floor all night, they are the ideal wedding band and are two very nice lads to deal with too. Get booking, you won't be disappointed

The Cavanagh Brothers played at our wedding back in September. They played a great mix of music, dance floor never emptied all night and they kept the craic going with the crowd. We had a brilliant time, could not recommend them enough.

cannot recommend these two enough. We had them for our wedding after party, after seeing them play at a different wedding. They have something to suit everyone and know exactly how to get a crowd going! And they are two genuinely lovely people, 10/10!!
