About The Cyclones
The Cyclone's set is geared very much towards keeping people on the dance floor and generating a party atmosphere, with strong harmonies, quality vocals, and energetic performances. The Cyclones 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 Irish or Jewish twist, the fiddle player will bring this to the mix.

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 The Cyclones (Radio 2 airplay, Guildford Festival etc).

Chris Hughes plays drums and sings. 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 in front of such people as Prince Charles, Jefferey Archer, Tony Blair, Princess Diana, Tom Hanks, Sting, Elton John, Naomi Campbell, Michael Caine, Kylie Minogue etc.

Testimonials

We had the pleasure of having The Cyclones perform at a number of our corporate events in July. Our customers and staff loved the band and the guys did such a great job of getting everyone up dancing! The music was brilliant and the band were so professional yet good fun at the same time. We would definitely use Rollercoaster again at future events and have already booked them for our company event this year.

Sarah Gardiner, Marketing and Events Manager, Straumann UK, Summer 2017

We just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the rest of the band for Friday night. You were all absolutely amazing and really created an unbelievable atmosphere and crowned what was the most perfect day for the both of us. So many guests have commented to us how brilliant you all were!

Vita and I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your playing at the weekend. The music and atmosphere were terrific and you bought a lot of fun to the evening.
James and Vita, Wedding Reception, Farnham Castle, June 2017

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for your great performance at our wedding. It wouldnt have been the celebration it was without you and your amazing band members. All of our guests have said what a brilliant time they had and would recommend you to other people for future parties and events. We feel sad that it is all over but will keep an eye out at places you’re performing at in the future.

Just wanted to thank you and all of The Cyclones so much for an awesome night of playing on Saturday – you must hear this all the time but you really made the evening for us and all our guests have been raving about you! By the sounds of things you’ll be playing at quite a few events for our friends and family in future, so we hope to see/hear you again soon!
Best wishes,
Steph & Tom

A quick note to you and the rest of the band who came last Saturday to Putney for our 40th Birthday.  We and the rest of our friends and family had a fantastic time and you kept the room dancing throughout the night. Hopefully you’ll be available for our 50th ! We’ve had quite a few queries about who you are and how to get hold of you so we’ve sent them your way hopefully they’ll be in touch.
Thanks again and Happy Christmas

Thank you for the fabulous music ... (you guys) ....provided for our wedding. From the first dance  to the last one that you played – the choice of music was spot on and we had so many positive comments from the guests who loved you. Thank you for creating such a great atmosphere –  it was really the perfect evening.
Marian and Nick Falconer, Wedding Reception, Bury Court Barn, August 2016

Just wanted to say thank you so much for the wedding. You guys were seriously good and lots of people commented favourably on the music. Also a lovely bunch of guys.
Lauren and David, Wedding Reception, Marquee on Cigarette Island Park, Hampton Court, London, July 2016

What can we say other than a HUGE thank you for Saturday evening. The Queen classic is a big favourite of Dave’s, so it was great to have that as our first dance. We had the best time ever! We have a video of our last dance and I can’t believe how many people are on the dance floor.  So many people commented on how fantastic you were.
Thank you also for your patience with drunken guests…I imagine people backing into you gets pretty tiring quite quickly!
…Hopefully see you at another event soon. If not then I already have you in mind for Dave’s 40th in a few years time Jayme and Dave, Wedding Reception, The Tithe Barn, nr Petersjield, July 2016

Not sure where to start – you guys were amazing!! Just incredibly happy with everything from start to finish. We felt truly blessed to have you there for our special day and you guys were simply perfect. The first dance was exactly what we wanted if not better than the version we sent you….the fiddler during the reception was exactly the atmosphere we wanted.
And the music all night – well you saw the dance floor, ALL night!!! It felt like having friends there playing for us so a HUGE thank you. Please send on our thanks to everyone. Cannot wait to see you again soon….
