Then read on! The Waistcoats are an Irish and Italian wedding band Italy who deliver a passionate and energetic performance that will get everyone singing and dancing, young and old alike!
The band is made up of Irish and Italian international musicians who have been performing at weddings for years! Not only are they perfect for your wedding, they’re also great for all your pre- and post-wedding parties.
Meet the founding members of the Waistcoats:
Paul Staunton (guitar/mandolin/vocals) is a Dublin native who comes from a family with a rich musical background. He also lived and played in New York for many years, while Sal (vocals/guitar) is a German-born Italian showman who can be heard occasionally in voice over projects on German TV. Sal and Paul have been performing together for more than 12 years and will go the extra mile for you!
Don’t need the entire band, but prefer a duo instead? Sal and Paul are happy to oblige! The Waistcoats can also do acoustic sets as a duo, trio or with the full band to accompany your aperitifs before the wedding, or a pizza party the day after. Just contact us and we will create a custom package to suit your specific needs.
From an Irish wedding band in Italy to an Italian wedding band experience, we have you covered. We perform all over Italy, from Lombardy over central Italy (e.g. Borgo di Tragliata) to Sicily!
Upbeat, friendly, energetic, and professional…we love to entertain you on your big day!
