Breabach

Scottish firebrands Breabach are one of the most talked about bands on the folk scene. Their innovative celtic style, blending double bagpipes, flute, fiddle, song and Scottish stepdance, brings to the stage, flare, excitement and diversity rarely seen from such a young group.
Their enviable musicianship is coupled with a delightful ability to connect with their audience and has gained Breabach international recognition as one of Scotland’s leading new acts.

Breabach sprung into life when they became winners of a ‘Danny Kyle Open Stage Award’ at Celtic Connections in 2005. This proved to be the spring board from which they launched into 2006; signing to Vertical Records and being nominated for ‘Best Up and Coming’ at the Scots Trad Music Awards.
2007 has seen the launch of Breabach’s debut album ‘The Big Spree’ (see reviews) and a hugely successful Tune Up Tour across Scotland in October. The band made a return visit to the music awards in Fort William in December, this time they were in the running for Best Folk Band 2007.

The road ahead is exciting and 2008 is sure to be the bands busiest year to date; A tour of England and Wales in the Spring and a European tour in Autumn are already on the cards. Breabach are creating a storm in the world of traditional and roots music. Don’t miss out.
