SUMMARY:BRUACH: Live at Errol Gala Day
DESCRIPTION:On June 22nd\, 2024\, BRUACH had the honour of performing as the final act at Errol Gala Day — a bright\, sun-filled community event that captured everything we love about outdoor gigs. \nWith a relaxed daytime atmosphere\, I was able to bring my dog\, Mocha\, along with my youngest child\, who listened to our set and made the day even more meaningful for me personally. \nAs we wrapped up our set\, we were met with warm appreciation from the crowd — and even treated to free ice cream from a local vendor\, a sweet gesture that reflected the support and love of the Errol community. \nThis gig reminded me once again how special outdoor performances can be — not just for the sound\, but for the sunshine\, the shared smiles\, and the joy of playing music right in the heart of where we live.

SUMMARY:BRUACH: Closing Set at Solas Festival
DESCRIPTION:On June 16th\, 2024\, BRUACH closed out Solas Festival with a set that we’ll never forget — not for the size of the crowd\, but for the heart behind the music. \n \nThe weather had turned rainy\, and most of the festival’s performers and attendees had left by the time we took the stage. To add to the drama\, Pheely’s guitar strings snapped in the early part of the set\, and our bassist Sean — who ran off to assist — both was taking very long time. \nSo there we were: Davie on vocals\, Niall on drums\, and myself on fiddle\, holding the stage as we launched into “Take Me Home\, Country Roads” — equal parts panic and perseverance. At the time\, it felt like a scramble\, but now? It’s one of our favourite stories to laugh about. \nAmong the small but wonderful audience were two young girls\, dancing joyfully throughout our set. Their energy lit up the tent\, and we gifted them BRUACH T-shirts as a thank-you. \nThe day before\, under clear skies\, I had taken part in my first-ever folk session — an entirely improvised\, deeply human exchange of sound and spirit. In that moment\, I truly felt how much my life had shifted\, and how far music was taking me from anything I’d imagined before. \nSolas was more than a festival. It was a turning point.

SUMMARY:🎤 Bruach Live at Bannerman’s Bar\, Edinburgh – June 7th\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:The night we (accidentally) competed with Taylor Swift. \nOur Edinburgh debut will forever be remembered as the night we played at Bannerman’s Bar — completely unaware that Taylor Swift was holding a surprise concert in the city on the very same evening. \n \nOf course\, there was no way we were going to win a crowd against Taylor.In the end\, only two of Kayo’s friends made it through the Swift chaos\, and the rest of the night turned into something unexpected but heart-warming: \nA small\, intimate gathering where we and our friends The Root Notes & Banshee Heathens listened to each other’s music\, shared stories\, and laughed about our spectacularly unlucky timing. \nDespite the tiny audience\, the night had its own charm.All of us squeezed into one car\, driving from Dundee to Edinburgh together — nerves\, excitement\, jokes\, and snacks — the kind of road-trip memory that sticks far longer than a packed venue ever could. \nOur official Edinburgh debut may not have gone as planned\,but it became one of those “only once in a lifetime” stories that we’ll always laugh about. \nAnd next time…maybe we’ll try not to schedule a gig on the same night as one of the biggest pop stars on the planet.

SUMMARY:🎶 Folk Rock Showcase at ROOTS Dundee —
DESCRIPTION:A night of energy\, friendship\, and foot-stomping music! \nWe were thrilled to join Journey North and Banshee Heathens for a packed night of folk-rock at ROOTS Dundee — three bands\, three different flavours of Scottish energy\, and one unforgettable atmosphere. \nThe evening kicked off with the powerful vocals and punk-folk spirit of Banshee Heathens\, followed by the epic melodies of Journey North\, blending rock with the unmistakable sound of Highland pipes. \nBruach closed the night with our own mix of Celtic folk-rock\, lively fiddle tunes\, and crowd sing-alongs. ROOTS was absolutely buzzing — a full room\, warm cheers\, and the kind of audience that makes you want to play twice as hard. \nIt was also a rare chance for all three bands to share the same stage\, support each other’s sets\, and celebrate the Dundee folk-rock community together. \nWe’d love to return to ROOTS again — thanks to everyone who came out and made the night so special!

SUMMARY:🎻 Bruach Live at CSSC Dundee — March 23rd
DESCRIPTION:Our return to the Civil Service Sports Club in Dundee was filled with lively energy\, friendly faces\, and a crowd ready to dance from the very first tune. \nBeing close to Niall’s home ground\, many of his friends came along — bringing an extra spark to the night. The audience was on the younger side\, full of enthusiasm\, and quick to jump up and dance. The room wasn’t huge\, but the atmosphere more than made up for it: warm\, loud\, and wonderfully vibrant. \nWe played a strong folk-rock set featuring favourites such as Jacobite by Name\, Kelliecrankie\, Balaena\, and a bold early-stage performance of the Flower of Scotland melody. Every tune was met with clapping\, cheering\, and people moving to the rhythm — the kind of night where the connection between band and audience feels effortless. \nIt was one of those small-but-mighty gigs that remind you why live music matters: good people\, good energy\, and a room full of dancing feet. \nA brilliant night at CSSC — we’re looking forward to coming back.

DESCRIPTION:A hometown charity night supporting the future of the community \n \nBruach were honoured to perform at the Dunshalt Playpark Fundraising Night\, a special event held in the home village of two of the band’s members\, Sean and Pheely.Organised by the Dunshalt Community Playpark Committee\, the evening aimed to raise funds for new play facilities for local children — a cause close to the hearts of many residents. \nThe event brought together neighbours\, friends\, and families from across the village.The hall was filled with warmth\, laughter\, and the unmistakable atmosphere of a community gathering for something meaningful.Raffles\, games\, and the lively bottle slide kept the room buzzing throughout the night\, while guests enjoyed a relaxed BYOB setting and plenty of homemade scran. \nBruach contributed not only through their live performance but also by donating all profits from their merchandise sales\, helping the fundraiser reach an impressive total by the end of the evening. \nFor the band\, it was an emotional night — especially for Sean\, whose family welcomed the group like one of their own.

SUMMARY:🎸 Bruach at The Twa Tams — with Brock’s Den (Dec 15th)
DESCRIPTION:A strong step forward in Bruach’s early journey \nBruach returned to The Twa Tams for a second appearance —this time as the supporting act for Brock’s Den\,a talented solo singer-guitarist accompanied by his charming toy poodle\,who quickly became the unofficial star of the backstage area. \nThis performance marked an important milestone in the band’s development.It was one of the earliest gigs after the addition of our fiddler\,who had previously struggled to hear her own instrument on stage during an earlier show at the same venue.Since then\, the band had invested time\, equipment\, and rehearsal effort to refine the on-stage sound\,ensuring that everyone could perform comfortably and confidently. \nOriginally\, the plan had been for the fiddle to join only for the second half of the set.However\, minutes before the show began\, the decision was made to perform the full programme together.The result was a lively\, high-energy night featuring around twenty songs\,all delivered with enthusiasm and a growing sense of cohesion. \nBrock’s Den brought a warm\, relaxed atmosphere with his seasoned playing style\,and the collaboration between the two acts made for a memorable evening.It was a small but meaningful chapter in Bruach’s early history —a moment when the band’s evolving sound and chemistry began to take clearer shape.

SUMMARY:🍁 Shade of Amber – Perthshire’s Autumn Festival (Nov 4th\, 2023)
DESCRIPTION:A milestone early appearance for Bruach \nBruach took part in Shade of Amber\, the autumn festival curated by the legendary Dougie MacLean\, after the band successfully passed the performer selection process earlier that year.This opportunity arose before our fiddler joined the group\, meaning the original four members were already building a growing reputation in the local music scene. Her appearance at this festival became one of her earliest major stages with the band. \nOriginally scheduled to perform in the early afternoon\, Bruach were unexpectedly asked to close the daytime programme — stepping into the finale slot around 5 pm.This gave the band time to enjoy the atmosphere of the festival: live performances from other musicians\, seasonal foods from the game-meat stalls (featuring venison\, boar\, and pheasant)\, and the classic fish and chips stands that always accompany local gatherings. \nDespite the longer waiting time\, the set was trimmed to a smaller number of fiddle-led pieces\, allowing the group to deliver a confident and cohesive performance.By this stage\, the members had begun to form a closer bond\, and the ensemble’s sound was steadily becoming more unified. \nThe audience — composed largely of mature listeners who appreciate a relaxed folk atmosphere — offered warm enthusiasm. Many remained seated but raised their arms to dance along to the music\, and their applause brought the band back for an unplanned encore. \nIt was also Bruach’s first time performing on a professionally lit stage of this calibre\, leaving the band with wonderful video footage and a sense of pride.For our fiddler\, it marked a moment where the role began to truly take shape — another important step in finding her place within the Bruach sound.

SUMMARY:🎻 Bruach at Art Bar Dundee — Early Milestones (Oct 11th 2023)
DESCRIPTION:A lively night\, and a turning point for the band’s new fiddle sound \nBruach’s second stage appearance featuring fiddle took place at Art Bar Dundee\,a vibrant and eccentric venue known for its colourful graffiti\, alternative crowd\,and welcoming atmosphere. The bar’s friendly staff — including several of the venue’s regulars — created a relaxed environment long before the performance even began. \nOnly three weeks earlier\, the band had faced technical challenges during a previous show\,but by this night the group had made significant progress.After a handful of full-band rehearsals\, the fiddle joined confidently for the entire second half of the set\, performing around eight to nine tunes\,ranging from melodic lines to simple root-note backing. \nThe audience\, made up largely of enthusiastic students and younger listeners\,responded with warmth and energy. The venue soon filled with lively dancing\,and at one point a Hen Night group arrived\, adding even more excitement to the evening.It was a noisy\, bustling environment\, yet the performance held together well\,and the band received encouraging feedback from both staff and customers.The venue’s owner even expressed interest in having Bruach return. \nBehind the scenes\, this gig represented an important moment of cohesion for the group.The band members were highly supportive of their newest musician\, ensuring she felt backed and confident on stage.Each rehearsal and performance strengthened the sense of trust within the lineup\, establishing the collaborative spirit that would define Bruach’s sound moving forward. \nThis early Art Bar appearance stands as one of the key stepping stones in the band’s development —a night full of noise\, laughter\, movement\, and a growing feeling that Bruach’s evolving fiddle sound was here to stay.

SUMMARY:🎻 Debut Appearance at The Twa Tams — Perth (Sept 20th 2023)
DESCRIPTION:Bruach welcomes its new fiddler for her first live performance \n \nBruach’s first performance with their newly joined fiddler took place at The Twa Tams in Perth — a respected music pub well known in the Scottish live scene. The venue is owned by members of the celebrated duo Mad Ferret\, and is equipped with professional sound engineering\, multiple cameras\, and both indoor and outdoor screens that broadcast live performances.It is a polished and well-established setting\, making it an impressive stage for a debut appearance. \nAs this was a weekday evening\, the atmosphere was relaxed\, giving the band an ideal environment to introduce their new member.During the first hour\, she observed the set from the audience area — listening\, studying arrangements\, and preparing for her short on-stage appearance later in the evening. \nWhen introduced to the crowd as Bruach’s new fiddler\, she joined the final section of the performance.However\, technical challenges arose: the electric violin monitor mix made it extremely difficult for her to hear her own instrument.This resulted in significant tuning and intonation issues\, especially under the warmth of the stage lights that caused further pitch instability.Despite these obstacles\, she completed the set\, and the audience responded warmly. \nThe band treated the situation with understanding and support.Instead of viewing the performance as a setback\, they reassured their new member and praised her confidence in handling a difficult first appearance. \nIn the following week’s rehearsal\, the group openly discussed the challenges\, and together decided to move toward using her acoustic violin on stage — supported by a high-quality microphone system purchased through the band’s equipment budget.The string players also standardised their tuners to ensure consistency across the group. \nThis debut at The Twa Tams marked the first chapter of the band’s new fiddle era.Though technically challenging\, it became a foundational moment — one that demonstrated the band’s commitment to collaboration\, mutual respect\, and helping each other grow.
