My 32 song DJ set for the wedding of the year.

I'll have the Ulster Hall rocking to the best tunes of living memory.

I'm throwing in the Undertones, FS on his tod and Ash to appease the locals.

No doubt the Logues will have done Wagon Wheel earlier on for the Tyrone element.

To omit it would be grounds for annulment at a Culchie wedding.

Funny enough, I heard a rock band do a decent arrangement of that song here in Spain yesterday afternoon. It's actually an old Dylan number but Country and Irish can be relied upon to turn anything into shyte.

Back from honeymoon now. Very pleased with the music on the big day over in NI.

Had three local bands - The Knotty Pine String Band (at Mountjoy Church Hall), Jukebox Unplugged and The Logues (particularly good) to appease the natives - and then it was my turn to rock the Ulster Hall.

That wedding playlist in full:

Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Man I Feel Like a Woman - Shania Twain
First of the Gang to Die - Morrissey
Shiny Happy People - REM
Walk Like an Egyptian - The Bangles
Prince Charming - Adam and the Ants
Baggy Trousers (especially for you BT) - Madness
Don't You Want Me - The Human League
A Good Heart - Feargal Sharkey
Common People - Pulp
Perfect 10 - Beautiful South
Girl From Mars - Ash
Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs
Mr Brightside - The Killers
Basket Case - Green Day
Sit Down - James
The Only One I Know - The Charlatans
There's No Other Way - Blur
Slight Return - The Bluetones
After All - The Frank and Walters
Bohemian Like You - The Dandy Warhols
Teenage Kicks - The Undertones
Bomba 2002 - King Africa
Love Shack - The B-52s
Come on Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners
(Is this the Way to) Amarillo - Tony Christie
I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) - The Proclaimers
Alcohol - Brad Paisley
Perfect Day - Evan Dando and Kirsty MacColl
There is a Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths
Can't Help Falling in Love - Elvis

I may have lost a few of Victoria's elderly Presbyterian relatives at times but it went down very well other than that.

And I loved it...!

Not a bad list Justin, a few I'd put into Room 101 but not bad. My title track, of course, marks you out as a man of taste ..................... for a Lionel :lol: :lol: :lol: Congratulations ould hand, live long and prosper. :thumleft:

Justin, as a Lionel, you may or may not know that Girl from Mars was originally Girl from Ards. The original was a much better title imho.

Decent list indeed for a wedding. Did the Culchies manage to jive to it?

Thank you gentlemen.

That Ards story is what is now called 'fake news' I'm afraid Merv.

I didn't spot many Culchies on the dancefloor. There were a few and I can only assume they were allowed an equivalent of "Rumspringa" at some stage in their youth.

I wasn't prepared to listen to any tom kite music at MY wedding but, as a concession to the hordes from Tyrone and Donegal, I did permit the use of 'Cotton Eye Joe' for the entrance of the bridesmaids and ushers to the Hall.

My wife and I joined our guests to the strains of 'I Walk the Line'. It was either going to be that or 'The Last of the Famous International Playboys'.

Maybe the "fake news story" is fake news?

I spent a whole weekend on it.

Picking the first song was one of the trickiest bits and the first three were generally designed to spread the appeal beyong the 80s and Britpop fanbase I knew I could rely on.

There was supposed to be a break between The Logues and my iPad kicking in but my dad's speech took forever so there wasn't. They were a tough act to follow but Bon Jovi probably worked as well as anything could have done.

I think I took more satisfaction from the music going down well than I have from 21 years of employment. I accept that the 150 bottles of wine that were consumed probably had an impact but a fair number of the tunes were even applauded.

Sadly, I had to restrict Morrissey's involvement and I could not justify a place for the likes of Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave or even Lloyd Cole, but I guess I've still got my funeral to plan.
