Twenty years on from winning the Danny Kyle Open Stage Award at Celtic Connections, Breabach remain securely ranked amongst Scotland’s most skilled and imaginative contemporary folk acts and at the forefront of a burgeoning traditional music scene. The band unite deep roots in Highland and Island Gaelic tradition with progressive musical influences and have cultivated a unique sound, anchoring double bagpipes, fiddle, step dance and vocals with energetic double bass and guitar accompaniment. This celebratory year will be marked by revisiting some of their favourite venues and festivals across the UK, Europe and beyond.
Their journey continues to evolve with each passing year, taking influence from the many artists within Scotland’s eclectic music scene but also exploring further afield and building long-lasting friendships with musicians and tradition bearers from around the world.
Over the past two decades, Breabach have embraced and pioneered many cross-genre collaborations, linking up with artists including Quebec’s Le Vent du Nord, BAFTA award winning animator Cat Bruce, indigenous Australasian artists Moana & the Tribe, The Black Arm Band, video game composer Big Giant Circles, and Cape Breton powerhouse, Beòlach.
