Check out our latest review by Dave Franklin of Green Man Music

Andrew Marston recently describes The Roving Crows as, "just pure musical energy. Tight rhythms, great on-stage personality, proper up-on-the-tables-kicking-over-the-beer-glasses fun-time country music delivered at great speed."  - Andrew Marston, BBC H&W, June 2010.

Here's what Crackerjack's Eric Worrall had to say about our performance at the Cheltenham Folk Festival: 'The Roving Crows then upped the tempo with guitarist Paul O’Neill’s imaginative Irish country-rock songs, best of which being a rousing No Money, No Whiskey, No Wine. These were interspersed with some fine jigs and reels, pitched just right by Caitlin Barrett’s mellow fiddle and Marc Miletitch’s muted bass for the less than wide-awake audience' (2010)

We were recently reviewed by Andy O'Hare from BBC Hereford and Worcester, here's the low-down: 'Folksters like these are always a breath of fresh air on my never-ending round of the local pub-rock circuit. The Roving Crows have got originality in bucketloads with numbers like No Money No Whiskey and Stab In The Dark.' (2010)

Music offered by The Roving Crows is funky and upbeat - guaranteed to get your feet tapping!

The integration of traditional with modern sounds makes for an upbeat, entertaining and energetic experience.  With roots in traditional Irish music and influences ranging from The Levellers to Kila and the Waterboys they generate an exciting and charged atmosphere, interspersing original songs with traditional tunes funked up with eclectic drum & bass rifts.

We can suit any venue and cater for any type of event from weddings to birthday celebrations, anniversaries to Irish themed nights performing as a duo, trio, 4 or 5 piece.
