Brògeal share details of forthcoming debut album, Tuesday Paper Club

“I wrote ‘Tuesday Paper Club’ initially as a poem when I worked behind the bar at an old man’s boozer in Falkirk called the Wheatsheaf. It was a Tuesday and there was about 3 punters in, all sitting in silence reading the papers,” frontman Daniel Harkins talks about the new single.

“So out of boredom this little poem came about and ended up being more about older people’s views on the young and how they can be so bitter about us as if they weren’t doing the same, if not worse when they were younger. I added some chords to it later and took it to the lads and it instantly became an absolute foot stomper and it’s one of our favourite songs to play live now.”

“The thing about our music is that it transcends all age groups,” notes Harkins. “You’ve got 14-year-old boys with their mums, they’re all going mental, you've got old punks, middle-aged women, young adults, old people, everybody's digging it, you know? There's something for everybody because you've got your folky influences, The Pogues, with this indie edge and pop sensibilities.”

Brògeael released Dirt and Daydreams EP (2023) on their own winningly titled CraicDen label, followed by an eponymous EP in 2024 on Is Right Records, leading to a signing with revered independent label Play It Again Sam.
