Discovery Theatre

Glasgow, Scotland is known for birthing great bands, and contemporary folk group Breabach is firmly ranked among them. One of the country’s most skilled and imaginative acts, the band ties their deep roots in Scottish Highland and Island tradition with the City of Music’s innovative excitement.

Over their illustrious career, they’ve released seven acclaimed albums and earned abundant awards, including their recent win for ‘BBC Folk Band of the Year’ at the Scots Trad Music Awards. From Central Park to the Sydney Opera House, Breabach’s shows are polished and passionate, “matching fiery intensity with exquisite finesse” (The Scotsman).

Acknowledging and respecting the origins of both the music they play and the roots of the band whilst embracing the future with new ideas, energy and belief is a key attribute of the band and has remained a constant theme throughout their 17 years.

A Gaelic force

With james lindsay.

Almost two decades together has brought success after success for Scottish folk band Breabach.

Embarking on their first American tour with 17 dates lined-up, the band have earned their title as one of Scotland’s best folk bands.

The band have countless nominations and wins including five Scots Trad Music Awards, ‘Best Group’ in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and ‘European Album of the Year’ in the Songlines Music Awards.     On top of these accomplishments the band have released eight albums since 2007, their most recent being Fàs, released last year in October 2022.     The band consists of five members, Megan Henderson, James Lindsay, Calum MacCrimmon, Ewan Robertson, and their most recent member Conal McDonagh, who joined in 2020. Together they all write their own music and have performed live to audiences around the world. 

While it’s clear that over the years there has been a serious decline in the use of Gaelic, bands are not afraid to highlight its importance in Scottish culture and use it to give new meaning to their music and portraying the value of the Gaelic language.   Lindsay goes on to explain: “Things like Celtic Connections are really helping to promote the language, I think. It feels nice to be able to present Gaelic music and language on that big stage in a big city, and then to take it to America and find people from around the world with a connection to Scotland or those who just enjoy and appreciate the music is very special.”    Going beyond Scotland and bringing their music to new audiences is what has made the band so popular. With their upbeat Celtic sound and lively stage presence, Breabach has grabbed attention and created a space in Scottish Trad music around the world.     After having to postpone so many gigs due to the pandemic and then catching up throughout 2021 and 2022, this year brings a new start for the band as they break new ground.     He said: “We were doing the gigs that we were supposed to do in 2020. So, this year feels a bit more like a fresh start.”    Their latest performance at Celtic Connections saw the band gain masses of cheers from a hometown audience that has brought them to where they are today.     What better way to start fresh than with their new tour in the States. Performing instrumental classics like ‘Knees Up’ and ‘Western Isles Dance’, to new material from their album that is bound to keep the audience going. From energetic and bouncy to slow and meaningful, the talented members of Breabach are a recognisable force with their unique and memorable sound.
