The South West's most spirited, festival-style Ceilidh band. High-energy barn dances for weddings in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset & Dorset.

Public liability insurance of £5 million

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. 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. 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.
