UPCOMING SHOWS:       

2023 MAY : Bradley Murphy released his first solo album titled: "BEUL" completely in Scottish Gaelic, the title translates to "mouth", but it also means "beginning".  The album finds a balance between respect of tradition and timeless modernity: framing the ancient songs in subtle electronic landscapes evoking the ocean, highalnd mountains, forests, and rivers that have natured the Gaelic people for thousands of generations. The songs were learned by tradition bearers and archival recordings in Cape Breton and Scotland over the past 5 years.  

In May 2023 BEUL was released on all music streaming platforms. The album was also featured on the CBC show "ISLAND ECHOES" with Wendy Bergfelt, as well as on CBC weekend mornings with Bill Roach. 

Music Video for the song "Ailein Duinn" was released in May 2024
