With his celtic rock outfit, “Brophy’s Law” - based in Copenhagen, but originally from England, Scotland and the northern-most tip of Denmark, Neil Brophy performs his songs that draw influences from Bragg & Dylan’s singer songwriter styles of social commentary, McGowen’s Celtic rock, a slice of Weller with a haunt of NMA.
The new album from Brophy’s Law “True Stories” is a bag full of self-penned songs that paint pictures of world travel, revelry, small-town England, record collecting, refugees, propaganda, vikings, lucky people, fishing & homecoming.
"This is one of the best records I have played this year, the whole album is outstanding, it's fantastic, I can’t begin to tell you how fantastic it is”
Bernie Keith BBC Radio Northampton.
True Stories is a rare breed of an album that captures the energy a truly great festival band in a studio production. That’s not an easy thing to do. And the Brophy boys enjoy tradition; they play tradition; and like the god Janus, they push tradition forward, while at the same January Man time, love all the tunes that were lovingly played in the folk-rock past.
