During this interview Tony and Donal verbally bounced off each other, having great fun.  

Tony explained his ethos when it comes to couples getting married.  He also shared his real musical love, which as a responsible adult and parent, he gets embarrassed about (only joking!).

This is the second half of my interview with Elayne. In it she discusses more aspects about hiring a band for a wedding. 

She covers pricing, what to do if you have to reschedule and being in control of your band. 

She also explains why her band is called The Collective Wedding Band. 

Unusually, she tells of a conversation with a deceased agent that set her on the path to success! 

Various celebrities are mentioned, including Louis Walsh and Derek Ewing! 

There is also a great offer at the end!

Elayne has been the lead singer of many ground-breaking bands, including the excellent Collective Wedding Band.  

However, she is here to talk about the more general aspect of having a band at a wedding function.  

This episode just flowed and we talked for over an hour!  Thus, I have broken it into two.  This is the first half.  Episode #5 will be the second half.

Although some technical details are mentioned, Carl focuses on the art of making great video memories.

His mantra is, “If the videographer is relaxed, the people in his focus will be as well”.
