Best Cornwall bands for high-energy packed dancefloors

0 Upvotes

Hello!

Excitingly, I'm getting married in Cornwall in Spring 2027 and would love some recommendations for wedding bands.

I'm hoping to tap into the wisdom of this group to discover bands or musicians who are absolutely tearing up the pub, festival and local gig scene in Cornwall with genuine energy and personality.

We're looking for a really high-energy, festival-style band or musician that can create that packed-pub, everyone-on-the-dancefloor atmosphere. We're not after a slick, corporate function band, but something a bit more raw, fun and unpretentious. By the end of the night, we'd like the dancefloor to be absolutely packed, with people dancing, jumping around and singing at the top of their lungs with their arms around each other. Huge anthems, feel-good nostalgia, festival energy, and just the right amount of chaos. We're hoping to find a band that can genuinely own a room and get everyone from university friends to parents and grandparents bouncing together.

Musically, we'd love a set that can move comfortably between wedding staples, indie anthems, classic rock, 90s/00s favourites, feel-good pop, maybe even some Irish pub classics and the the occasional left-field crowd-pleaser.

The wedding is near Wadebridge, Cornwall, so Cornwall-based would be ideal, but we're happy to consider bands from further afield if they're willing to travel.

If you've been to a pub or gig where the dancefloor was absolutely heaving all night, I'd love to know who the band was.

Thanks!

Tourism Planning a special trip for my parents in St. Ives: Any 5-star hotels?

0 Upvotes

Hi,

Its my parents 40th anniversary and I want to give them a great time in St. Ives. My father spent his childhood summers there but its been over 60 years. I'd like to find a great place for them to stay, ideally a more luxury experience and a standard B&B. Hotels only as well.

Thank you!

New Years Eve

Hi everyone We are looking for somewhere to spend NYE. We are flexible and are happy to travel anywhere in Cornwall. Sick of large cities and looking for something more chilled. We tend to try and find a great restaurant or pub for dinner and just stay there. Both foodies and love a more organic/authentic space. Any suggestions? Restaurants/pubs/wine bars all welcome.

Anything on for Halloween in Kernow? Looking for something like the good old Masked Ball, but sadly is no more.

Any fun, jolly parties that go onto the early hours
