I would like to introduce you to the Celtic Folk Fusion band Brother Sea from Scotland who have been making serious waves around the UK and Europe in 2025 with their unique ocean drenched sound that has been referred to as music for fantasy lovers and coastal dreamers.

Their performance is captivating, high energy, thought provoking and has received an overwhelming response from every audience from festival main stages to intimate live music venues whilst on tour of France and Cornwall this year.

Their music is that of departure, adventure and new beginnings that will sweep you away with a sense of boldness and innocence. With hypnotic vocals accompanied by a playful twist on classic folk instruments they create a sense of awe and intrigue with songs like campfire stories exploring heritage and folklore as they flicker through captivating soundscapes.

“If Fleetwood Mac had grown up on a pirate ship they’d sound like this!”

Ed Leigh, BBC Ski Sunday

"Circadian is a brilliant, thought-provoking single from Brother Sea. The story-telling is compelling, the harmonies hypnotic and is, overall, a beautiful song."

Daniel Pascoe - BBC Radio Cornwall

“Beautifully crafted chords, intricate lead parts and glowing harmonies make Circadian the go-to feel good song on your Summer Playlist. Could the lyrics be more fitting to the time we currently find ourselves in, ‘Colours emerge from the dark.’ I’m a believer, and you will be too.”

Joel Richardson - Blackstar Amplification.

“Brother Sea - a refreshing wave of original songs and fine musicianship, but also adept at great renditions of traditional pieces.“

Hamish Burgess - Maui Celtic Radio Show
