Filippo is a superb guitarist and Azu's voice and performance is second to none! They compliment each other so well and really made it a night to remember. Without doubt, I wouldn't hesitate to book them again or strongly recommend them for a wedding or party. Thank you The Mirrors for the great evening and forever memories!!" Based in London, England (66 miles from Margate) 2nd April 2026 Will T - Birthday party Photo of The NeoRoots Function Band The NeoRoots Function Band "We hired the NeoRoots for our wedding and would definitely do it again. The performance, song choice, reading the room and crowd were so excellent that they ended up skipping their well deserved break between sets to keep playing and even kept on going after the agreed time. We had just under 100 people at our wedding and everyone loved them and danced to their songs for hours on end. The live performance was just excellent and you could see that they love what they do. I can not recommend them enough and if I ever have a big function I will definitely book them again. Thank you NeoRoots for our lovely evening hand great party."
