Winning a Danny Kyle award at Glasgow's Celtic Connections Festival in 2000 exploded the band into the public eye. 6 months later they walked away with the equivalent award from the World's largest Celtic Festival: the "Festival Interceltique de Lorient" in France. What a start to their career!
Since then, Brolum has built up a following not only at home, but also in countries such as Italy, Belgium, England and of course France.
In January 2001 they released their debut album "7:11" to great acclaim.
All seven of Brolum are graduates or students from two of Scotland's major institutions of music. Their lineup consists of twin fiddles, pipes and whistles backed by one of the most solid rhythm sections around combine to create one of the most driving sounds you will have heard in a long time. When you add clarsach as a bridge between the two sections and you have the complete outfit. Brolum is one of the few bands around today which can boast having both Gaelic and Scots vocals as part of the line-up.
