Maurice Culligan - A Great Musician!

I’ve had the pleasure of watching and listening to the very talented Maurice Culligan – based in Galway – play at a couple of weddings… instead of the DJ!

People are always a little apprehensive at first when we tell them we’re having a piano player instead of a DJ… some of our family thought it was going to be a sedate affair (I’m wording their thoughts politely here) but nothing could be further from the truth.

What Maurice Culligan brings to a wedding is an intimate gathering around his piano after the band have gone home and he rocks the night away with a sing-song.  He has the crowd singing everything from Your Song to Patricia The Stripper and I’ve even witnessed 50 people blasting out a rousing rendition of The Flakiest Milk Chocolate from the Cadbury’s ad.  Mighty, mighty craic and we just had to have him for our wedding!

Like The Marvels, Maurice was unavailable for our original date – he plays The Radisson every year for The Galway Races – so we happily moved the date and are delighted that he’s going to be such a big part of our day… or should I say early morning!!!!
