REDband consists of  professional musicians who’ve played together in the resort over many years. More recently they've been involved in various rock musicals written by Margaret O’Hanlon and produced by Whirlwind Productions, including California Dreamin’, London Calling, 27 and Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide. Now they’ve brought that experience to bear in REDband – which performs as anything from a duo to a six-piece for events and corporate functions. REDband lead vocalists Margaret O’Hanlon and Charlotte Graf are joined by Ivan Hamilton drums and vocals, Mark Wilson keyboards, Matt Anthony lead guitar, harmonica and vocals, and Nigel Hirst plays saxophone, rhythm guitar and vocals. 

 

Their huge repertoire is focused on 60s, 70s and 80s rock music, with some relatively contemporary artists such as Amy Wine-house, Gin Wigmore and Adele thrown into the
