With 8 critically acclaimed albums to-date, global tours and recognition at 6 BBC ALBA Traditional Music Awards, German Record Critic’s Award (2023) and as European Folk Group of the year finalists at the Songlines Awards, Breabach show no sign of slowing. Their adventures continue in this special anniversary year with shows and festivals across the UK, USA and Europe.
