About Us · Meet The Band

Not just a band.
A crew obsessed
with your party.

Top-quality, full-time musicians who put heart and soul into every single show, and have done for over 15 years, at venues all over Ireland.

Our Story

15+ Years of Full Floors

The Moogs are not just another wedding band. We’re a group of top-quality musicians who put heart and soul into every single show, and the energy we project to an audience gets the floor full from the very first song.

Most bands believe one size fits all. We don’t. We read the crowd and play towards what they love: Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Jackson 5, The Beatles, Elvis, right up to today’s chart hits, so everyone is up dancing right from the start.

We use the latest state-of-the-art sound and lighting, making every show a captivating spectacle in venues of every size.
