Tom McGuire & The Brassholes

Additional information

Tom McGuire & the Brassholes are a funk soul powerhouse from Glasgow who blew the roof off PILGRIM in April 2025. Combining rich arrangements with meticulous songcraft and untouchable in live performance, the band has carved a niche of their own.

The band formed busking on the streets of Glasgow and made a living from playing bars before bursting onto the scene with runaway viral debut single “Ric Flair”. Mere months later the band launched their debut album with a sellout show at the 1000+ capacity QMU in Glasgow. Since then they have gone on to to secure support slots for Craig Charles and Geroge Clinton, have become a firm favourite on the festival circuit, headlining a number of scottish festivals, and have toured extensively in the U.K and Europe.
