Brechin All Records

Brechin All Records (often abbreviated BAR) is an independent Scottish record label based in Edinburgh. It was founded in 1996 by the renowned accordionist Sandy Brechin, initially to release his first solo album, "Out of His Box". From that starting point the label has grown into a home for a wide range of recordings by well-known artists on the Scottish folk scene as well as performers from other musical genres. The label's catalogue focuses on traditional and contemporary folk music and song, and on ceilidh music. Its shop offers contemporary Scottish folk music, books, Scottish ceilidh material, Scottish island compilations, teaching DVDs, and traditional music and song, including the "World Scots Wahey!" range. Beyond releasing records, Brechin All Records promotes its artists and supports new recording and performance projects, and it actively seeks out up-and-coming talent in the Scottish folk music scene. The company also operates an agency, Scots Wahey!, which represents some of Scotland's finest traditional performers, including Sandy Brechin, Andrew Mill, Bùrach, Sandy Brechin & Ewan Wilkinson, McKerron Brechin Ó hEadhra, The Five Freens, The Wendy Weatherby Band, Sandy Brechin & Ronan Martin, and Sandy Brechin & Gregor Borland. A sister company, Corporate Ceilidh, provides wedding and corporate entertainment ranging from pipers and string quartets to ceilidh bands, Highland dancers, pipe bands and discos, covering occasions from weddings and private functions to corporate dinners, team-building events and product launches. As a private, independent label, Brechin All Records remains closely associated with its founder and with the Scottish traditional music community. Its output and agency work place it at the centre of Scotland's folk and ceilidh scene, both as a record label and as a booking and entertainment provider.
