Broken Chanter is David MacGregor, on his lonesome, or accompanied by an array of very talented musicians. MacGregor spent 2007-2017 as the principal songwriter of Scottish Alt-Pop darlings Kid Canaveral - a band that could get you to dance, laugh, and weep all in the space of a set.

Their Debut LP Shouting at Wildlife was described by The Herald as 'a Scottish pop classic that should be mandatory in every record collection in the country', with follow-up Now That You Are a Dancer being nominated for the Scottish Album of the Year Award in 2014.

A light-hearted raconteur and heavy-hearted singer when accompanied by just a guitar, and a spectacle of energetic melodic noise when fully electric, MacGregor released the eponymous Broken Chanter to critical acclaim in September 2019. It is a record which paints an emotional and expansive
soundscape with a distinct sense of place, and showcases MacGregor's ear for melody and dexterity at tugging heart-strings.

A record filled to the brim with sharp pop sensibility and sublime gentler moments, Catastrophe Hits peaked at #7 in the Scottish Album Chart, #10 in the UK Vinyl Chart, #16 in the UK Independent Chart, and #29 in
the UK Physical Sales Chart.
