Subject: RE: Tune Req: Processional - Irish Music
Tchaikovsky - Our band played Fanny Power along with a few other waltzes as a processional for a wedding last June. It worked well.

Lynne - you might want to think of using two pieces of music - one for the bridesmaids and one for you. That's what our bride did, so she'd have her own "special" music. She liked the Augusta Waltz, which is contemporary, but it fit well with the Irish waltzes we did for the bridesmaids.

Hey, maybe instead of a DJ you should just hire our band - we work cheap! Seriously, in some parts of the world you can't turn over a rock without finding an Irish band, so live music may not be beyond your reach. DO some research - hang out in some pubs - and you may find a local band that would almost pay you for the privelge of playing at your wedding. Good luck.
