Breabach

Securely ranked among Scotland’s most skilled and imaginative contemporary folk acts, Breabach unite deep roots in Highland and Island tradition with the innovative musical ferment of their Glasgow base. They have released six increasingly acclaimed albums, whilst fueling their creative appetites in collaborations with e.g. indigenous Australasian artists Moana & The Tribe and Quebec’s Le Vent du Nord.

2022 saw the release of their latest album Fàs (a Gaelic word meaning growth, developing & sprouting). The album is heavily inspired by the natural environment of Scotland and sees the band showcase more progressive elements in their music than ever before. The protection, conservation and regeneration of the natural world influenced every part of the album making process, from song composition and sourcing material to the recording process and album production. 

Year 2025 marked their 20th Anniversary. As for the first time in its 100-year history the Grand Ole Opry made its international debut at Royal Albert Hall in London, Breabach appeared as one of the only two local acts to join the main American guests. In 2025 Breabach have widely toured in the US and Germany, among other markets.

Their 17-year adventure has included live performances from Sydney Opera House to Central Park New York. They have racked up an impressive array of accolades including five Scots Trad Music Awards, nominations as ‘Best Group’ in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and European Album of the Year’ in The Songlines Music Awards.
