Traveling Troubadour - The Neil Brophy Interview

Neil Brophy started his career as a mechanical engineer, but soon ditched his "normal" life in exchange from one of travel and adventure (From hitchhiking his way through North America, to playing 10 hour gigs in the Austrian alps). Listen to Neil explain how 2 years of busking on the streets of Perth Australia taught him the life-long lesson of how to captivate an audience. Brophy’s Law release their all time live favourite live track ”The Bachelor," a strong traditional and authentic folk punk classic sound with an alternative edge. As the John Peel centre in the UK appropriately describes Brophy’s Law, ”Where the Pogues meet the Clash." Brophy says he wrote this at the age of 18 in the shoes of  Shane McGowan heavily influenced by growing up watching the Pogues performing in their glory days on the London scene. They sang about the drinking holes of London and more drinking, a great recipe for this bar room classic ”The Bachelor” a song that paints a picture of a working class guy who’s surrenders his life to the devil in the jar, avoids marriage and drinks himself insane.Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08V5Q5YG9/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1Website: https://brophys-law.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/brophys.law/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrophysLaw/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2WPcjiQSY5w6szpBE1cGjkYouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHYJPJ8PjFiZS9wPcAZBZUQ#celticpunk​ #folk​rock​ #Irish
