Standard Theatre Seated
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 the burgeoning traditional music scene. The band unite deep roots in Highland and Island Gaelic tradition alongside progressive musical influences and has cultivated a unique sound. Their sound anchors double bagpipes, fiddle, whistle, step-dance and song with energetic double bass and guitar accompaniment.
Versatility, a love of experimentation and a willingness to push the boundaries of Scottish roots music have endured as the core values of the band over the past two decades. They have embraced and pioneered many cross-genre collaborations. They have linked up with artists including Quebec’s Le Vent du Nord, BAFTA award-winning animator Cat Bruce, Indigenous Australasian artist Moana & the Tribe, video game composer Big Giant Circles, Cape Breton powerhouse Beòlach and most recently the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra.
Breabach have released eight critically acclaimed studio albums to date. Their extensive global touring schedule has earned them widespread recognition. This includes six BBC ALBA Traditional Music Awards and a 2023 German Record Critic’s Award. As finalists for European Folk Group of the Year in the Songlines Awards, their journey shows no sign of slowing. They continue their adventures throughout this special anniversary year with performances and festivals across the UK, USA and Europe.
