About Me

Hom Bru began playing together back in their native Shetland Islands in 1978.

Although the line up has changed many times over the last 25 years, the current line up includes three of the original members: Gary Peterson (who has featured in every line up), Davie Henry and Brian Nicholson. They are joined by John Robert Deyell.

In 1980 the band moved to Edinburgh and, basing themselves there, toured all over Europe, including major festivals in Holland, Denmark, Germany, Italy and France. Hom Bru have now returned to Shetland, but continue to travel at least a couple of trips a year outside the isles.
