Neil Brophy Band cast off with the infectiously catchy "Where The Bears Go Fishing"NEIL BROPHY BAND“Where The Bears Go Fishing” Upbeat, rowdy Folk from Copenhagen via Northampton, Neil Brophy Band combine lyrics packed full of sentiment, bouncing Folk guitar, iconic banjo and accordion melodies to deliver the infectiously catchy new single “Where The Bears Go Fishing”, out 7th April 2017. Following the band’s politically charged previous release “Fear of Fear” combining foot-stomping Folk Rock with a serious political message, Neil Brophy Band call upon their humourous side to bring the kind of party atmosphere the group are best known for with the high-energy “Where The Bears Go Fishing”. Delivering their social banter in a contemporary Folk Rock style with humour, uplifting lyrical kicks and melodies bursting at the seams with energy, the Uke/banjo-driven getaway anthem is jammed full of sentiment reflecting on lead singer and songsmith Neil Brophy’s travels through the majestic Nordic outdoors. The popular festival favourites draw upon their unique storytelling talents to recall warming tales of fishing, campfire harmonies, running from bears and the great Northern lights. Not many bands have nailed Aurora Borealis in a song but Neil Brophy Band own this one. “Where the Bears Go Fishing is a pure, uplifting hoe-down, feel good track, a lot different from the normal stuff we do, but playing it live gets the crowd up on their feet every time. There’s something about a Ukulele that sets a happy mood and the song just seems to naturally follow.” - Neil Brophy Brophy, originally from Moulton, Northamptonshire, left the UK in 1990 on a backpacking trip and never made it back on a permanent basis. The prolific songwriter busked his way around Australia, NZ and the States for several years picking up songs and stories along the way, honing his craft by combining elements of his travels with social commentary & revelry and moulding into song. The expat, world travelled Neil Brophy Band now based in Copenhagen, Denmark, Folk Rock outfit has been recording and touring since 1998. With several releases under their belt, the English-Scottish-Danish band’s previous single “The Record Collector”, released on Record Store Day, was championed by Steve Lamacq, receiving substantial airplay on BBC 6 Music. The band has toured extensively in Northern Europe and Scandinavia becoming firm favourites on the festival circuit including multiple festival appearances in Germany, Holland and Belgium. UK festivals include Beautiful Days with The Levellers, Big Session and Middlewhich Festival.
