Rollercoaster
Professional Live Band
Straumann are a super technological company, providing high end kit to dental surgeons and technicians worldwide. They came to hear about Rollercoaster via a dental technician called Ben Hill… who happens to sing in top local band The Sausage Monkeys. These guys rock – and have been friends to the core Rollercoaster folk for the...
This was an event at the rather beautiful main building at Moor Park Golf Club – where we have actually played a few times before. The company was the BNI Networking group, co-ordinated by Imagine Group (property services)… though I only realised this at the end of the show, after using the ‘Imagine Group’ name...
Doha Skyline by Rob Blackham So this was a first for Rollercoaster. Sure, as our original band, Redwood, and as individual musicians, we have toured outside the UK... but as Rollercoaster, we have never left these shores. The reason for this, is we are usually booked up with weddings etc. which are often booked 1 year in advance. But as it happens, St Patricks 2017 was available (it's a premium date for this band), so we were booked in to play 2 nights in Doha, Qatar, at the Intercontinental Hotel!! The hotel promoted the gig under the name 'Four Leaves And......
So the band have a history with Aetna – we have played many parties for them (when they were previously Interglobal), and have played employees parties and weddings… so we knew it was pretty well going to be a good night. The theme was 20’s, so the guests were dressed appropriately, and the Rollercoaster Cocktail...
A fairly local gig for the band, though we had never played at the Aviator before. Great views, and unique architecture and layout inside the venue. We had Jason Dickenson on fiddle, who had been playing… wait for it… at Buckingham Palace the night before!!! It’s been said before, but only the best for Rollercoaster,...
Vertical Days have been a regular client for the band for the past 5-6 years, so it was great to be heading back up north to play their 10th Anniversary Event. Set in Haydock Park racecourse, you can see the cherry pickers and cranes from the motorway as you approach – it is an event especially...
We were introduced to the Belmont School PTA via Suzie and Graham, whose wedding we played in 2015… so at Suzies recommendation, we were booked in to play the PTA School Ball. The theme was Alice In Wonderland, and the hall was decorated beautifully. Lots of effort had gone into the whole presentation of this event...
First visit to this venue for the band, with a unique load in, almost underneath Liverpool Street Station! the event was the dinner dance and presentations for the Retail Convenience Awards 2016. It was St Patricks, so the Irish theme continued throughout, with top fiddle player Sarah Carter, wowing the guests during the drinks reception. The...
