About Roots & Routes in their own words
Roots & Routes formed entirely by accident after five strangers all got off at the wrong train station on the way to a reggae festival in 2026.
Instead of turning back, they found a pub, started chatting, and agreed that it was “basically a spiritual experience.”
Hours later they’d written their first song, missed the festival completely, and decided that was actually better.
Their tours are famously unpredictable: they occasionally turn up in the wrong city but insist on playing anyway.
“Roots” – lead vocals Claims every song is “about the journey” even when it’s obv about missing a train.
“SatNav” – guitar Always says he has a quicker way and has never once been correct.
“Detour” – bass Has been to 42 countries, remembers about 6 of them clearly.
“Flip Flop” – keys & melodica Has not worn proper shoes since 2011.
“Big Kev” – percussion Plays bongos, tambourine, a saucepan… whatever’s nearby.
Mystery Dave - vibes No one knows what he does. He’s just always there. Nods a lot.
