Breabach is one of the most inventive bands to spring from the Scottish
folk scene in recent years. Their huge sound is dominated by the twin
bagpipes of Calum MacCrimmon and Donal Brown, complemented by
the extraordinary fiddle playing of Patsy Reid and by the charismatic yet
propulsive guitar of Ewan Robertson, named BBC Scotland's Young
Traditional Musician of the Year in 2008. Patsy and Ewan both add
vocals to the mix, while Donal also step-dances.
From foot-
stomping reels to their heart-warming delivery of songs, Breabach
combine enviable musicianship with a delightful ability to connect with
their audience, qualities which are steadily gaining them an international
reputation.
'A young group performing with technical assurance and a feel for
traditional idioms.
Their raucous, driving attack is energised and exciting!' The Scotsman
