Breabach
with support from Martin Stephenson

One of the most inventive and diverse bands to have emerged from the Scottish folk scene in recent years. From their foot-stomping reels to their heart-warming delivery of songs, there can be no doubt why this acclaimed quartet - Breabach - have become a household name for many in the folk and roots music scene.

Nominated in the Scots Trad Music Awards for ‘Best Up and Coming Artist’ in 2006 and ‘Best Folk Band’ in 2007 and 2008, Breabach’s huge sound is dominated by the twin Bagpipes of Calum MacCrimmon and Donal Brown. This uncompromising force is complemented by the extraordinary fiddle playing of Patsy Reid and is further enhanced by the charismatic yet propulsive guitar playing of Ewan Robertson, named BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year 2008.

As one of the most versatile outfits to grace the folk scene, Breabach never fail to impress their audience with their collective charm and talents. Ewan Roberston and Patsy Reid share the vocal duties whilst multi-instrumentalists Calum MacCrimmon and Donal Brown alternate between pipes, flute, whistle, bouzouki and step-dance. One by one, these musical gems are unleashed like musical artillery, and to breathtaking effect.

Martin Stephenson:

As leader/songwriter with the Daintees, Martin evolved into an unusual songwriter in the early 80's, writing idiosyncratic flavours way beyond his years. Making his name more as a strong performer and anti industry bard, relating more to outsiders and hobbyists than fame hungry networking lemmings.

Releasing 4 critically acclaimed albums between the years 85/92. He continues to plough his own furrow living in the Highlands of Scotland releasing over 20 albums and performing concerts throughout the UK.

Unfortunately due to the high cost of production, and the limited seating capacity of this venue we are not able to offer any concession tickets.
