Breabach Concert

The Lincoln Theatre and Celtic Arts Foundation are pleased to welcome Breabach back to the Lincoln stage!

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 fuelling their creative appetites in collaborations with indigenous Australasian artists Moana and the Tribe & The Black Arm Band, Quebec's Le Vent du Nord, video game composer Big Giant Circles, and as artists-in-residence at the 2019 Celtic Colours Festival.

Breabach show no sign of slowing their creative endeavours with tours and festival appearances across the UK, Europe, and the US to mark the release of their 7th studio album Fàs, produced by renowned musician Inge Thompson (Karine Polwart, Hen Hoose, Northern Flyway).
 
Breabach are Megan Henderson (Fiddle, Vocals, Step Dance), James Lindsay (Double Bass, Vocals), Calum MacCrimmon (Bagpipes, Whistle, Bouzouki, Vocals), Conal McDonagh (Bagpipes, Whistle, Vocals) and Ewan Robertson (Guitar, Vocals, Cajon). Acknowledging and respecting the origins of both the music they play and the roots of the band whilst embracing the future with new ideas, energy and belief is a key attribute of the band and has remained a constant theme throughout their 17 years.

"As polished as it was passionate, matching fiery intensity with exquisite finesse, this was a magnificent set" --The Scotsman

"Breabach are in an electrifying new phase – one that illustrates the band’s strength and interest in experimentation. Exhilarating, energetic and accomplished" --Songlines
