Rowan is a fiddle-singer, writer and tunesmith who grew up in the foothills of the Burren on the west coast of Ireland, surrounded by traditional music. The author of two successful tunebooks, he has also written articles for several magazines and led fiddle workshops at festivals all over the country. His debut album, Mountscribe, was met with critical acclaim as was the compilation album he put together for his SONGHIVE folksong project to raise awareness of the current plight of our bees...
​He now tours with folk trio, The Wilderness Yet.

The Trip We Took Over The Mountain
​An album of Irish Traditional Music by father & son duo, Charlie Piggott (button accordion) and Rowan Piggott (fiddle). 
        Most of the sets on this 15 track album were put together on a short tour that took them from Miltown Malbay over the Burren to Rowan's childhood home of Kinvara. As well as jigs, reels, polkas, marches, slip-jigs, waltzes, slides, flings and hornpipes, the album features a couple of songs from Rowan.

Bright Young Folk Logo Review Quote Rowan Piggott
"There are many accomplished fiddle players playing today, old and young. Rarer are those who can combine their playing with singing of such clarity and quality. Rowan Piggott is assuredly the latter... Accentuated by the crispness of his fiddle playing, his vocals are a standout among the increasingly crowded group of emerging talents on the British scene."
