Cocktail and Reception Entertainment
The Rollercoaster Cocktail Band can provide the perfect backdrop to your drinks reception. The musical style is swing / jazz with a gypsy twist – very suited to champagne receptions/black tie events ( bass & shuffle brushed snare can be added if desired ). This music is meant to be non intrusive, though entertaining, ideal to sip drinks to, and unwind before the evenings events. It compliments Rollercoaster as the main act, with quality and excellence, though the musical genres don’t crossover – meaning it is independent of the main act … there won’t be any repetition.
The format covers 2 hours of music, which is 1.5 hours of live playing, with iPod music in the breaks.
An example of how the timings typically work, at a wedding reception, are as follows…
Act arrival at venue: 2.30pm
Setup by 3pm
Set times: 3pm-5pm
We will usually only take bookings for the Rollercoaster Cocktail Band, if the main band is booked later on, for the same event… but there are some exceptions, so call or email if you have an enquiry.
