The Crows’ inexhaustible energy gives them stand alone status in the up-surging live music scene. They have won several awards including ‘Top Celtic Rock Band’ and ‘Top Fiddle Player’ at the 2012 Irish Music Awards and ‘Best Folk Act’ at the Exposure Music Awards.

“Relentlessly upbeat and uplifting”

Neil King, Fatea Music Magazine (2011)

They’re completely unique and uncontainable, often getting audiences on their feet and dancing the night away. The Roving Crows sing songs with bitter-sweet storytelling lyrics of no regrets and draw musical influences from genres including folk, ska, reggae and klezmer. With members of the band hailing from Ireland, they also boast an original Celtic vibe.

“Genuinely the next big thing on the folk scene”

Andy O’Hare, BBC (2011)

Their line-up features lead singer and frontman Paul on guitar and boasts Caitlin’s fiery fiddle playing and vocals, Greg’s syncopated trumpet, Tim on the drums and newest band member, Loz, on bass. They all get involved with backing vocals which gives a really rich group sound.

“Really individual Celtic folk rock group”

Mike Harding, BBC (Nov 2012)

The Roving Crows are charismatic, enthusiastic and entertaining and they come with bags of youthful charm. An original must-see act, with roots in Folk and Celtic music. Renowned for their high-energy live performance, their shows pull together funked up traditional tunes and catchy original song. Every performance bursts with energy so you’ll want to leave some room for dancing.
