Roving Crows

Roving Crows are an Irish folk rock band who deliver the goods with riotous energy and banter.

The Crows started their journey when a guitarist from Kildare and a fiddle player from Cheltenham, via Donegal, met at a festival in 2007. The music flowed, and they’ve not stopped since. With five albums under their belt and several national and international awards, this now four-piece are an awe-inspiring force on stage – unstoppable and passionate.

This Irish group seamlessly marry humour, provocative lyrics, traditional Irish tunes and rock to take the listener on a ride they won’t want to get off. They make a hell of a noise for four people!

The band, now based in Herefordshire & Worcestershire, have wowed crowds at festivals and venues across the UK, Australia, France and the Netherlands. They are a must-see live act – a mix of fiery fiddle playing and conscious lyrics, alongside driving drums and punching bass lines.

Roving Crows are – Paul O’Neill (guitar & lead vocals), Caitlin Barrett (fiddle & vocals), Laurence Aldridge (drums & vocals) and Jim Smith (bass & vocals).

Their passion and energy on stage is infectious, never failing to deliver a great time with their vibrant live show. Their music pushes the boundaries of the Irish folk genre. The jumping jigs and reels will get you dancing, while their enquiring and provocative lyrics will make you think.

The band released their fifth album ‘UNITE’ in 2025 and received extensive radio play across the UK as well as 4* reviews.
