The Wedding Band

The wedding was great. I don’t want to rub it in about how great. I’m biased. And I’m a very proud father and father-in-law this morning.

But I wanted to mention the wedding band. They were great too.

Wedding bands sometimes receive a bit of scorn from 'singer/songwriters like me, who are often just simply jealous that they manage to make money going round entertaining people by singing other peoples songs. How dare they!

But they are, more often than not, excellent musicians (almost always better musicians than yours truly) and they simply want everyone to have a good time.

The Franchise did that in spades last night. They were brilliant.

And as an added bonus, the band, without rehearsal, also managed to accompany me in my song to the happy couple. It was lovely, and I’m grateful. Really nice guys too.

Shout out to the wedding bands.

(And massive congratulations to Joel and Tharushi of course :)
