Booked for Birthday party

This band is amazing - have to mention the lead singer- just off the scale- and all of the band were the very best you could ask for. I’m trying to find an excuse to host another party so I can book them again!!

Booked for Wedding

Neo Roots were absolutely incredible. They were flexible, responsive, professional and musically we could not fault them! The set list was perfect, something for everyone. From the under 3s to the over 80s, everyone was dancing and commenting on how much they enjoyed the band. NeoRoots have certainly found themselves a few new fans from our wedding and we cannot wait to see them play again! Thanks so much for helping making our wedding the most perfect day of our lives. Wouldn't have been the same without Neo Roots!
