The Marakafoli Trio were absolutely wonderful for my mother's 70th birthday party. Jaimie, Antonio and Ivan were warm, responsive and accommodating, and the music was fantastic. I had so many guests asking me throughout the event where the band were from and if they could buy their CDs! I couldn't recommend highly enough and would certainly consider using them again for future festivities. Rose

Amazing band. Read the atmosphere and the style of the party so well. Really responsive to queries. Invested time in meeting me and my partner to understand what we like/don't want in terms of music. I couldn't ask for more.

We hired this band for a birthday party. They were amazing. They brought a great atmosphere to the room. The dance floor was never empty there had people wanting to dance all evening. We wouldn’t hesitate at booking them again.

Blag came along and did a wonderful job of entertaining at my rescheduled 50th Birthday party. They were very accommodating, playing their first set outside and then moving inside in the break. They are very skilled musicians and did an excellent job. However, they are misrepresented as a Ceilidh band, as I had asked for a number of led dances and to have a caller encourage people to join in. They did a great set, but chose to play their eclectic set list which included celtic folk, rock, latin, world music, jazz and some some pop / rock covers and no led dances which was a shame as this is what I had asked for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, just be clear about your expectations from the outset.

Very good musicians who added a lot to the wedding and were great value for money. Did find coordinating organisation with them ahead of time challenging (slow to respond to messages), and they were a little later than they said they would be on the day (which was only a problem because we were running early)

Absolutely fantastic bunch of lads worked very hard and made everyone happy . People are still saying how good they were and would be a must for any party . Highly recommend them to anyone and everyone . Best party ever and these chaps made it .

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.

"Route 66" Dorset's Rising Stars of Country

🎉 New to Poptop

Dorset “Supergroup”* Route 66 bring varied musical ingredients together and form a recipe that keeps you dancing. Keeping things mostly Country, we have been known to branch into other genres. Folk, Pop and Rock are all within our repertoire. Once described as "St. Patricks Day in Nashville." Amie and Matt combine great harmonies on each others’ songs and covers. They are accompanied on backing vocals and fiddle by Steve. Drums/Cajon expert Iain holds the musical exuberance in rhythmic check.

About supplier

Formed in 2022 around singer-songwriter duo Amie Knight and Matt Griffiths, Route 66 may be new but we're not green. Both Iain and Steve have 25+ years of experience in live performance, with Matt not far behind. Amie has no need to play catch-up up though, she's deservedly our leading lady.
