Twenty years on from winning the Danny Kyle Open Stage Award at Celtic Connections, Breabach remain securely ranked amongst Scotland’s most skilled & imaginative contemporary-folk acts and at the forefront of the burgeoning traditional music scene. The band unite deep roots in Highland and Island Gaelic tradition alongside progressive musical influences and have cultivated a unique sound, anchoring double bagpipes, fiddle, whistle, step-dance and song with energetic double bass and guitar accompaniment.
Versatility, love of experimentation and a willingness to push the boundaries of Scottish roots music have endured as the core values of the band over the past two decades. They have embraced and pioneered many cross-genre collaborations, linking up with artists including Quebec’s Le Vent du Nord, BAFTA award-winning animator Cat Bruce, indigenous Australasian artist Moana & the Tribe, video game composer Big Giant Circles, Cape Breton powerhouse Beòlach and most recently the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra.
With 8 critically acclaimed studio releases to date, an extensive global touring schedule and having received recognition with 6 BBC ALBA Traditional Music Awards, a 2023 German Record Critic’s Award and as European Folk Group of the year finalists in the prestigious Songlines Awards, Breabach’s journey shows no sign of slowing. They continue their adventures throughout this special anniversary year with performances and festivals across the UK, USA and Europe.
A brand-new trio formed by three seasoned session musicians, this collaboration between
Archie Moss, Toby Shaer, and Jack Warnock was born out of a shared love for traditional
music from the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe. Since meeting in 2019, the trio have
established themselves not only as dynamic performers but also as sensitive re-
interpreters of the tradition.
Each artist is well respected in their own right: Archie Moss (accordion) is a BBC award-
winning musician, a celebrated composer, and one of the most in-demand button
accordion players in the UK, has performed alongside Seth Lakeman, Sam Sweeney, and
Eliza Carthy.
Toby Shaer (fiddle, flute, whistles, cittern) is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and
producer from the southeast of England. Over the past ten years, he has toured
extensively across Europe, Australia, and China with revered artists such as Cara Dillon,
McCusker, McGoldrick, Doyle, and, alongside Archie Moss, with Sam Kelly & the Lost
Boys.
Jack Warnock (guitar, vocals) hails from Co. Derry in Ireland. An award-winning guitarist
and singer, he is also an avid Gaeilgeoir (Irish speaker), performing songs in both Irish and
English. His compositions and repertoire are steeped in storytelling as he embraces the
lineage of folk music in its truest form.
This trio approach their craft and arrangements with delicacy and thought, drawing
influence from a plethora of traditions. A collaboration of three like-minded musicians
presenting folk music through a contemporary lens.
