Bernard Brogue

"The clean, acoustic sound of Folk - meets the psychadelic soundscapes of the likes of Lemon Jelly." Garden Sessions

Bernard Brogue belongs to the British ‘school’ of singer-songwriters like John Martyn, Nick Drake and Allan Taylor. He's made several trips to Scotland. In 1996 his song 'Down River', later to appear on his debut album 'Birdwatching', was voted second in a very high standard singer-songwriters contest at the Edinburgh International Festival. In Spring 1997 he did a small but successful solo tour in London and performed succesfully at the legendary folkclubs Bunjies and The 12 Bar.

Since the autumn of 2001 he performs with his new band featuring Vincent Gal on drums and percussion and Tom Janssen on fretless bass and keyboards. In september 2006 his new album ‘Escape the day’ was released with this new band and other fine musicians. Kaz Lux (former member of the legendary Dutch band Brainbox) contributed the leadvocals of one of the songs.
Escape the day is a sentence from the song “Dream away” and refers to the desire to escape daily life, romance and the night as a symbol of the shadowside of life.
