Tom McGuire & the Brassholes

DHP Presents...

Tom McGuire & the Brassholes are a funk soul powerhouse from Glasgow. They effortlessly combine rich arrangements with meticulous songcraft and are wholly untouchable when it comes to their live performance. This band is carving a niche of their own.
The band formed busking on the streets of Glasgow and made a living from playing bars before bursting onto the scene with runaway viral debut single “Ric Flair”. Mere months later the band launched their debut album with a sellout show at the 1000+ capacity QMU in Glasgow. Since then they have gone on to secure support slots for Craig Charles and Geroge Clinton, have become a firm favourite on the festival circuit, headlining a number of scottish festivals, and have toured extensively in the U.K and Europe.
The band sold out their debut appearance at the legendary Barrowlands in Glasgow with the release of their highly anticipated second album “Stay Rad”. This was followed by a sold out UK tour later that year in venue sizes up to 600.
The band’s music is full of vitality, the sound of a new niche being cut, classic pop sensibility with high musicianship values and rewarding arrangement and rich production. At the root is soulfull song, telling stories and sharing experiences of joy, turmoil, loss, celebration, sadness, happiness, confidence, frailty. All told hyper distilled and delivered in finely honed funk pop parcels of aesthetic joy. Life is confusing and hard, but music is fun and great, so let’s talk about it whilst at one and the same time, getting down.
