I've watched it at least 20 times.

All the characters in the band did their own playing, except for Joey "The Lips" Fagan.

Andrea Corr, of the Irish Folk/Rock band "The Corrs" played Jimmy Rabbitte's sister.
Her brother, Jim Corr appears briefly as a member of the skating rink band, "Avant-Garde-A-Clue"
