A seasoned Irish wedding and events band with a current five-person line-up: Doireann and Ryan on lead vocals, Rod on guitar, Darragh on bass and Hugo on drums. Blacktye are strongest when a couple wants versatility with polish, moving from ceremony and drinks options into chart, 90s, 80s, rock and roll, soul, funk, Irish, country and waltzes.

About the band
Blacktye's edge is range. Their own music page lists current chart tracks, 90s favourites, 80s medleys, rock and roll, soul, funk, Irish, country and waltzes. That is exactly the spread a mixed-generation wedding needs when the brief is stylish but not narrow.
The current band line-up gives them two front voices in Doireann and Ryan, with Rod on guitar, founder Darragh on bass and Hugo on drums. Their meet-the-band page describes Blacktye as operating for over 20 years, which shows in how broad and practical their wedding packages are.
Blacktye can cover ceremony, drinks duo, wedding band, band and DJ, plus DJ and sax options. They are the right call when you want one musical team to carry the whole day from elegant arrival into a properly full dance floor.
