The act
As guests arrive, traditional piano accordion can establish the Irish character before Double Shot Maggie brings in the full band. The group combines Irish traditional music with high energy rock and punk, giving old and new classics a tougher modern edge. Danceable songs lead the wedding set, with a few slower pieces left in for guests who want to sway. The musicians describe themselves as punctual, genuine and deeply fond of what traditional instruments bring to rock. Listen here, then enquire if you want the evening to grow from accordion atmosphere into full Irish flavoured rock.

Good to know
What to expect
Traditional instruments driving a modern rock sound is the whole idea, and Double Shot Maggie clearly love doing it. Expect high energy stuff you can dance to, with a few slow swaying tunes dropped in so the night has some shape. They're on time and they're straight with you, which sounds like a low bar until you've booked a band that wasn't either.
On the day
Self-sufficient, with their own gear. They'll bring a PA if the venue hasn't got one, or plug into yours through DIs or from mic'd amps if it has. The one non-negotiable is the stage. With five of them, sometimes six, and drums in the middle of it, a reasonable performance area is a must rather than a nice-to-have.
Performance options
For functions there's a traditional piano accordion option that plays as your guests arrive and settle, and it carries on over dinner if you want it there. It sets the room without shouting. Then the full band takes over and the volume goes where you'd expect it to go.
