The Highstool Prophets bring their high-energy traditional Irish folk sound to the Barrowland Ballroom, mixing foot-stomping anthems with soulful ballads.
The Highstool Prophets play the Barrowland Ballroom on Friday 4 December, with doors opening at 19:00. They're an Irish folk band from Cavan, and this is the first of three dates on a short tour that takes them across the UK: Liverpool on 11 December, London on 12 December and Manchester on 13 December.
Their sound sits somewhere between folk and country, delivered with an infectious Irish edge. They're known for putting their own twist on traditional music, and their live shows mix foot-stomping anthems with soulful ballads. It's the kind of set that works for traditional folk fans and newcomers to the genre alike, and they've drawn sold-out crowds and television and radio appearances across Ireland and beyond.
Coming from Cavan, they've built a reputation for energetic live shows, and the Barrowland is a good fit for that. The Glasgow date is the first stop of the run, followed by Liverpool, London and Manchester over the next couple of weeks.
