Ciaran,
Whilst I have no idea on the state of their souls nor their current standing with the church community, I believe they are available for a booking. I attempted to phone but was sent to a rather stern voice message system that reminded me that "Every fortnight Amish men do it with hoes." While pondering the definition of "it" I forgot to leave a message and hung up. If memory serves correct the Amish allow their older youth a time away from the community (Rumspringa) to reflect on the decision to remain in the Amish community and abide by all the tenets of faith . I personally think this is a brilliant practice and many more religions could take note. That said it is quite possible you may engage an Amish rocker/band during this time and they still be in good standing with the community. Whether or not they play ABBA I have no idea.
Oh, and in addition to Gráinne's gracious offer I believe SleepyButch is an R.N. and will be attending the reunion, although after posting the new profile picture that one may be too awash in femme attention to be much assistance.
