Brògeal thrum at the centre of a robust, Celtic folk revival, crowds across the UK and Ireland connecting to a traditional spirit of positive defiance in an ever-polarised, none-more-negative era.
Their debut album Tuesday Paper Club, out October 17th on Play It Again Sam (Cameron Winter, Nick Cave, The Hives), blends romance, loss, nostalgia and mischief, recorded on the Isle of Lewis.
The rambunctious Celtic folk of The Pogues, the charm of The View, Teenage Fanclub’s lush harmonies, the Smiths’ jangly delicacy, Oasis B-side yearning, and a defiant Scottish brogue… Brògeal have it all and make it their own. A bubbling cultural cauldron with accordion, banjo, bouzouki, mandolin and penny whistle, where ancient folk tradition meets indie Gen Z spirit, laughing, singing and dancing through 21st-century darkness. From small-town Falkirk in Scotland, the folk-punk-indie-pop five-piece earned a rep as one of Britain’s best live bands, igniting mosh-pit madness across the UK and Ireland.
