The Broken Pledge
The Broken Pledge is The Bonny Men's latest studio album. Since forming in January 2011, The Bonny Men have become one of the most popular and exciting acts in the Irish trad - folk music scene. With their new album "The Broken Pledge", The Bonny Men have taken all of their collective experience and have shaped an album that delivers Traditional Irish music with a new and vibrant sound, all underpinned with the unique driving arrangements that The Bonny Men are known for. This deeply reflective album is as haunting as it is joyous, touching on themes of the current social environment and history of Ireland. The timelessness of this album is echoed by the sound of Steve Cooney's didgeridoo and Tim Doyle's string arrangements. Both collaborating with the band on some of the tracks. The Bonny Men were nominated for RTÉ Folk Awards 2020 `Band of the Year' and The Broken Pledge was also nominated for `Best Track'. "The Broken Pledge - Pioneering trad progression " The Irish Times "The Bonny Men have delivered another vibrant collection of well-tempered tunes and songs with extended and dynamic arrangements that unfold with surprising twists and turns... daring and unstoppable!"
