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. There’s an uprising going on.
Their debut album Tuesday Paper Club, out October 17 th 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.
They made their first EP for themselves, ‘Dirt and Daydreams’ (2023) released on their own winningly titled CraicDen label, followed by an
eponymous EP in 2024 on Is Right Records, leading to a signing with revered independent label Play It Again Sam. For the last 18 months
they’ve toured relentlessly, throughout the UK and Ireland, gathering ecstatic fans, have supported Paolo Nutini, The Mary Wallopers and
The Lathums, found fans in both 6 Music’s Huw Stephen and Line of Duty actor Martin Compston, been eulogised in Rolling Stone, the
Independent, Clash, The New Cue, So Young and Dork. “We’ve always been kept busy and it just kind of got bigger and bigger at a really
natural rate,” says Aidan. “It’s the stuff of dreams. You think, ‘Oh, that could never happen’, and we’re doing it!”
Brògeal: a proper band for everyone, cheering up the world. The good times, finally, are back.
