After the B&G first dance I usually play a couple of slow numbers for the older folk depending on their age and how full the floor is. I tend to go for the usual stuff such as Will Young - Evergreen or Take That - Back for good.

Any other offerings that go down well for a change?

If the proceedinga are running late, try 'You To Me Are Everything'. It can help you pick up the tempo....and of course is a great track!

Same for The Ramones 'Baby I love You'. Slight pitch adjustment and it's perfect!

Amazed by Lonestar
Have I Told You Lately by Rod Stewart
I Don't Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith

Can't take my eyes off you - Andy Williams...starts slow then picks up half way through

Much as it pains me ot say it Chasing Cars by Scum Patrol works quite well.

Ronan Keating - If tomorow never comes (remix)
starts slow and picks up

Normally after thr B & G i do bridesmaids bestman family etc second dance
follwed by december 63 oh what a night frankie valli into dancing queen abba then by this time floor is normally full

I normally try to immediately move to something up-beat after the first dance, although it depends on the timing and guests.

Last weekend it was KC & The Sunshine Band's 'Give It Up'.

Good track Andy.

It is, but sadly overplayed. (By me as well)

Diana Ross & Lionel Richie - Endless love
Labi Siffre - Something inside so strong

Are two of my favourite slowies which always get a good response!

Van Morrison's Have I Told You Lately....

Hmmm . . . they're pretty good, but I've really taken to the cover version by this, as yet, unsigned duo:

Endless Love (sound on!)






EDIT:
Oh jeez, I've nearly just wet myself . . . a neighbouring link to the above took me to this:
Apologies to you guys who may have seen it all before, but I hadn't, and it sure was a "coffee over screen" incident

Parental guidance - content may be irreverent!

Jesus

Classic! I love that song but now I will never think about it the same way again.

Thanks

Another one which has gone down well recently is:
