THE ULTIMATE MODERN CEILIDH BAND FOR HIGH-ENERGY WEDDINGS


Festival-Style Barn Dances Across Devon, Cornwall & the South West

We bring an untamed, festival-ready energy to modern wedding celebrations, reimagining traditional folk and barn dances for a crowd that wants a proper party. As a premier Devon & Cornwall ceilidh band, we ditch village hall stereotypes to deliver anthemic, high-octane sets that feel like a headline festival show. Whether performing in a rugged coastal barn or a packed marquee, our focus is simple: an unforgettable atmosphere and a dancefloor that never stops moving.

High-Voltage Acoustic Folk Music & Live Calling

Our sound is raw, acoustic, and undeniably powerful. We don’t just play background music; we play driving folk, pop, and rock sets designed for the heat of the moment—complete with interactive live calling so all your guests can jump straight in. By blending traditional roots with a modern, unfiltered edge, we ensure your wedding entertainment feels fresh, exciting, and completely unique.

Based in Plymouth, Serving Exeter, Cornwall & the South West

Based in Plymouth, we perform across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset, and Bristol. From the heart of Exeter to the rugged Cornish coast, we bring the pulse of a live festival straight to your wedding venue.

Highly recommended
Rowans were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We’ve had endless compliments from our friends and family about how amazing the music was—they truly were a standout part of our special day. They handled everything with such professionalism, and the entrance song they coordinated was just perfect. A massive thank you to Joe and the guys for being such a joy to work with. Highly recommended!

The energy in the room was incredible
We cannot thank Joe and the team enough for making our wedding day so unforgettable! From the moment they started playing, the energy in the room was incredible. So many of our guests commented on how brilliant the performance was, and that entrance song was a particular highlight that really set the tone for the whole day. If you want a team that genuinely cares about making your celebration special, look no further than Rowans!

Rowans were INCREDIBLE
Rowans were INCREDIBLE. We hired them for our wedding last weekend and could not have been more happy. They played our first dance song perfectly (which was not one from their repertoire list), and the dance floor was full all night. Everyone was telling us how great the band were and how much fun they were having on the dance floor.

I'd definitely recommend them
We hired Rowans recently for a dinner dance. They were easy to deal with and had a great set list which we could pick from. On the night, they were fantastic and provided a brilliant evening of dancing and singing along, everyone was thoroughly entertained! I'd definitely recommend them for any parties, weddings or other events.

Thank you so much!
Rowans were fantastic! I had the best 50 birthday party, they brought the house down. True musicians, great setlist, great engagement with the guests and can play anything. Thank you so much! I wish I could do it all over again.

You truly bought the party to life
We just wanted to take a moment to thank Rowans for the incredible performance you gave at our wedding. You truly bought the party to life and created an atmosphere that we, along with our guests, will never forget. So many of our guests commented on how much fun they had and how great you guys were. We know it wouldn’t have been the same without you!

Incredible band
We used Rowans for our wedding. They were extremely communicative throughout and an incredible band. The band liaised with the venue and setup while we’re were celebrating. The band then absolutely smashed it and put on an incredible show. We will definitely recommend all of our friends and family.

Rowans played at our wedding and were absolutely fantastic. Joe was great to talk to about what we wanted before the day and do professional bringing all the equipment they needed and liaising with the venue.
