From the heart of Dartmoor, Banned from the Moor brings an energetic mix of folk, rock, and dance music that’s guaranteed to get feet moving and spirits lifted!

With a flexible line-up of 1–9 musicians, the band weaves together the rich sounds of singers, violins, concertina, whistle, guitar, keyboard, bass guitar, and drums/percussion. Add in our lively ceilidh callers and world dance leaders, and you’ve got music and fun for every occasion.

Expect a vibrant set of jigs, reels, and songs—from traditional English, Irish, Scottish, and European tunes to contemporary twists and original creations. Whether it’s a ceilidh, festival, wedding, party, pub gig, or children’s celebration, we bring the energy, joy, and community spirit of folk music wherever we play.
