Eabhal met and began making music together on the Outer-Hebrides’ Isle of Uist, taking their name from the iconic North Island hill.
Playing folk and traditional music from Scotland, Ireland, Asturias and further afield alongside self-penned tunes and Gaelic songs, they produce a melting pot of sound representative of their different backgrounds.
Eabhal were recently named Hands up for Trad, Battle of the Folk Bands 2018 winners at Edinburgh Tradfest. Having toured throughout Europe, the band are now working on their debut album which is set for release in 2019.
‘Eabhal are one of Scotland’s brightest up and coming bands that continue to evolve our music.’ - Angus Lyon, Blazzin’ Fiddles
