Route 66 was a hard-working and popular pub and private functions band. They once played at the Mokotua Hall at a social night for the Sahara Desert Raft Club. After the gig a game of soccer was started across the beer-spilt floor, with one of the drummer’s toms as the ball.”

  1. Great Band. I remember when the original drummer Carwyn was in the band. He thought up the band's name. He was a really talented young drummer. It wasn't his first successful covers band, nor his last. He could play every music style from country to thrash metal... tight as. Haven't seen or heard from him in years. Loved the keyboard player Craig too. One hall gig we hired the band, he entertained on an old out of tune upright Piano after the gig. What a riot that was. Fabulous memories. Thank you Route 66.
