Breabach

  • What's on: Live events
  • Breabach

    • Presented by Folk In The Barn, in association with Gulbenkian

    Twenty years on from winning the Danny Kyle Open Stage Award at Celtic Connections, Breabach remain securely ranked amongst Scotland’s most skilled and imaginative contemporary folk acts and at the forefront of a burgeoning traditional music scene.

    The band unite deep roots in Highland and Island Gaelic tradition with progressive musical influences and have cultivated a unique sound, anchoring double bagpipes, fiddle, step dance and vocals with energetic double bass and guitar accompaniment. This celebratory year will be marked by revisiting some of their favourite venues and festivals across the UK, Europe and beyond.

    Their journey continues to evolve with each passing year, taking influence from the many artists within Scotland’s eclectic music scene but also exploring further afield and building long-lasting friendships with musicians and tradition bearers from around the world.

    ART31

    ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

    ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

    The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
