Hey JudeHere's ours for tonight. Usual suspects mainly:
Damn. What's with the sucky formatting when I post from my iPad?...

We are a four piece - As well as me on guitar, our singer also plays rhythm on a number of tracks (sometimes acoustic, sometimes on his Tele).
For Come On Eileen, I play the fiddle part as a lead lick on guitar, simple as that. OK we're missing the banjo twanging away in the background, and thus we probably bring to it more of a straight rock sound than the original had, but Stu's acoustic softens things up a bit.
The fact that we're a guitar band and don't have keyboards (never mind brass or strings) used to make me feel like certain songs aren't viable for us, but having played songs like Come On Eileen with our format, it soon becomes clear that as long as you turn in a good version of the song, people don't mind the details at all.
Now, if only we could get the guitarist up to the same level.....
You can unLOL him and then re-WOW him if you want.
