Rowans Full Description

The most spirited, festival-style Ceilidh band in Devon, Cornwall & the South West.

Festival-Style Wedding Entertainment

We bring an untamed, festival-ready energy to weddings and events across Devon, Cornwall, and the South West with a high-voltage reimagining of the traditional barn dance for a crowd that actually wants to party. Our sound is raw, acoustic, and undeniably punchy. We play anthemic, driving sets that feel more like a headline show at a summer festival than a village hall social. We don’t follow the traditional rulebook; we just focus on the heat of the moment and the pulse of the floor.

Whether we’re in a rugged coastal barn or a packed festival marquee, our mission is simple: a packed floor and a high-octane atmosphere. We combine the rustic charm of a barn dance with the punch of a live festival band.

High-Voltage Acoustic Performance

Our sound is raw, acoustic, and undeniably punchy. We don’t just play background music; we play anthemic, driving sets designed for a crowd that actually wants to party. By blending traditional folk roots with a modern, unfiltered edge, we ensure your wedding entertainment feels fresh, exciting, and completely unique to your event.

Serving Plymouth, Exeter, and the South West

Based in Plymouth, we provide premium wedding entertainment across the entire South West. From rugged coastal barns to festival marquees, we focus on the heat of the moment and the pulse of the floor to deliver a legendary night.

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.

Wonderful wedding experience with Rowans

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. All the musicians were excellent and the set just fit the mood and the setting perfectly. The guests all commented about how much they loved the music- my next event i will be booking them again!
