About Rollercoaster
Rollercoaster's set is geared very much towards keeping people on the dance floor and generating a party atmosphere, with their strong harmonies, quality vocals, and energetic performances. Rollercoaster are perfect for weddings and special events with the ability to throw in the relevant genres to suit all ages. And if you'd like that Celtic twist, they can add in their top fiddle player to suit the occasion!

Alistair the bass player also sings and fronts the band. Having been the singer/song writer of Redwood, signed to Almo Sounds, who toured with Feeder and released two albums, he now pursues a solo career of writing and producing, when he is not out rocking with Rollercoaster (see www.alistaircowan.com . Radio 2 airplay, Guildford Festival etc).   Check out the Redwood site at  www.redwood.org.uk

Chris Hughes plays drums, sings, and occasionally harangues the audience. Previously in Redwood with Alistair, before joining Mindwire, he completes the three part vocal harmonies that you will hear throughout the live set. He also DJs between, before and after the live band sets, playing disco tracks or any other recorded music that might be required.

On guitar and vocals is Rob, who was also in Redwood. His experience with function and original bands is vast, with soundtrack and advertising writing credits, tours in the Middle East, session work in all genres of music. He is also a founder member of Goldrush, the foremost Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young tribute act in the UK!

The Irish fiddle adds a whole new dimension to any rock set, and also gives us the jigs and reels that energise the night in a whole different way. Our fiddle players are all from the top of their professions and are of world class standard, with backgrounds in feature film soundtrack recording and classical recitals as well as being steeped in the traditions of Celtic fiddle – credits include Morcheeba, All About Eve, Alison Moyet, David Soul, James Galway.... with performances infront of such people as Prince Charles ,Jefferey Archer, Tony Blair, Princess Diana, Tom Hanks, Sting, Elton John, Naomi Campbell, Michael Caine, Kylie Minogue etc.
