Incredible band - guaranteed to get your guests on the dancefloor

5 stars - Dexter are Highly Recommended
booked Dexter for their Wedding in Norfolk July 2024

“My parents found Dexter after helping me listen to loads of band demos. The incredible vocalists, song repertoire and excellent reviews really stood out to us. I’m so delighted that we went and booked them for our barn wedding. They made our evening everything we wished for and more. With their amazing energy, the excellent range of cover songs and incredible talent, Dexter has all our guests dancing. Their sets were a great range of 70s,80s,90s and modern pop, which appealed to all. They even learnt our first dance song, which was very special for us. Many of our guests commented on how incredible the band were and how much they enjoyed the music. They were very friendly and also flexible when we were running a little behind schedule. Thank you Dexter - you guys are awesome!”
