Personal Message from the Manager
Name of Wedding Contact: Alistair Cowan
I manage the band, I play in the band. Play music for a living, and also write music - I compose and have a studio... My music is heard on tv all over the world, with tracks on Adam Sandler films, documentaries etc.
Rollercoaster were previously 90's rock band Redwood - signed to Also Sounds, albums out worldwide, tv and magazines. We took the ethos of the original band, and carried it onto the function band - where the quality of the music is everything... and hopefully it shows :-)
