Breabach

Breabach are one of Scotland's most successful and celebrated young folk acts on today's scene. Powered by double bagpipes, flute and fiddle, this uncompromising Highland force is fuelled by the tight, modern groove of double bass, guitar and Scottish step-dance. Breabach command the stage with an endearing and charismatic musical charm that is as expansive as it is distinct. Their thoughtful arrangement and delivery of songs highlights a repertoire that effortlessly fuses the traditional and the contemporary, further underlining their commitment to musical heritage but also displaying a willingness to explore and challenge boundaries.

Breabach received nominations for 'Best Group' at both the 2011 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and the Scots Trad Music Awards 2010/2011.
