Broken Chanter

Broken Chanter is an acclaimed project emerging from Glasgow, fronted by Scottish musician David MacGregor. Since its inception in 2018, Broken Chanter has consistently offered listeners a captivating blend of indie rock craftsmanship and nuanced songwriting, earning recognition within the UK’s vibrant live music circuit. The name itself pays homage to MacGregor’s childhood attempts to play his grandfather’s chanter, a charming origin story that underpins the music’s sense of authenticity and heritage.

With a discography that includes albums such as Chorus of Doubt (released in April 2024) and the much-anticipated This Could be Us, You, Or Anybody Else arriving in April 2026, Broken Chanter continually evolves sonically while maintaining a distinctive Scottish identity. Recent releases like the EP Don't You Think That Something Needs to Be Done? (November 2024) shed new light on MacGregor’s versatility, shifting between intricate arrangements and emotionally charged lyricism. The project stands out for its ability to blend subtle ambient textures with the immediacy of alternative rock, resonating with an audience seeking depth and originality.

On stage, Broken Chanter’s reputation has only grown. Notably, in May 2026, they performed as a support act for CARLA J. EASTON at Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds—an appearance that highlighted their appeal alongside some of Scotland’s most respected talent. For those interested in live music, gigs, and authentic independent artistry, Broken Chanter is an act to watch closely.
