The Broclaimers are a high-energy tribute act celebrating the music and legacy of The Proclaimers, delivering an authentic and uplifting live experience that resonates with audiences across a wide range of events. Formed by long-time collaborators Steven and Grant, the duo set out to create something that had surprisingly never existed before: a dedicated tribute to Scotland’s most iconic musical pairing, Charlie and Craig Reid. Since launching in 2022, The Broclaimers have built a reputation for their dynamic stage presence, tight vocal harmonies and unmistakable passion for the source material, making them a standout choice for event organisers seeking both nostalgia and energy.
Steven and Grant have been performing together for many years, honing their chemistry and musicality across countless live settings. Their shared appreciation for Scottish music and performance naturally led to the creation of The Broclaimers, a project that allowed them to combine tribute authenticity with broader crowd appeal. While their performances are rooted in faithfully recreating The Proclaimers’ greatest hits, they also bring versatility by incorporating songs from the wider Scottish songbook and popular party anthems. This flexibility allows them to tailor their setlists to suit diverse audiences, whether delivering a focused tribute experience or a more varied, high-tempo party set.
Their repertoire spans instantly recognisable classics such as 500 Miles and Sunshine on Leith, alongside tracks from legendary Scottish artists and crowd favourites from acts like Bay City Rollers, Simple Minds and even The Killers. This breadth ensures their performances remain engaging from start to finish, appealing to multi-generational audiences. Combined with their trademark good-natured banter and natural rapport, The Broclaimers create an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and contemporary, encouraging audience participation and sustained energy throughout.
The Broclaimers have performed at a range of respected venues and events, including the Edinburgh Corn Exchange, O2 Guildhall Southampton, Aberdeen’s Quayside and the Pink Flamingo stage at Rewind Festival in Perth, Manchester and Henley. Their ability to adapt seamlessly to different environments makes them a reliable choice for tribute nights, festivals, private parties and corporate events alike. Event planners consistently book The Broclaimers for their proven ability to keep crowds on their feet, deliver feel-good performances and bring a distinctive Scottish charm that elevates any occasion.
