Brogeal - Tuesday Paper Club (CD)

From the small Scottish town of Falkirk, folk-punk-indie-pop five-piece Brògeal have earned a rep as one of Britain's best live bands, igniting mosh-pit madness across the UK and Ireland. They thrum at the centre of a robust, Celtic folk revival that is connecting crowds to a traditional spirit of positive defiance in an ever-polarising and negative era. Recorded on the Isle of Lewis, their debut album, Tuesday Paper Club, blends romance, loss, nostalgia and mischief. Their music is a bubbling cultural cauldron - featuring accordion, banjo, bouzouki, mandolin, and penny whistle - where ancient folk tradition meets indie Gen Z spirit; laughing, singing and dancing through the 21st-century darkness. For the last 18 months they've toured relentlessly, including support for Paolo Nutini, The Mary Wallopers, and The Lathums. They have found fans in BBC 6 Music's Huw Stephen and Line of Duty actor Martin Compston, and been eulogised in Rolling Stone, the Independent, Clash, and The New Cue. "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!"
