For over three decades, the legendary Peatbog Faeries have electrified audiences worldwide with their exhilarating fusion of traditional Scottish folk and dancefloor grooves. Hailing from the Isle of Skye, these innovative trailblazers have spent years crafting an ingenious sound that draws upon a myriad of influences – from jigs and reels to jazz, African rhythms, dance music and more. Their powerful melodies and cross-rhythms ricochet with a smart techno attitude, hitting you forcefully like a massive heartbeat one moment before deftly dropping into glorious Scottish folk themes that send spine-tingling chills through the venue.
2024 marks an exciting new chapter as the pioneering band welcomes new members Norman Willmore on keys and sax and renowned multi-instrumentalist Innes Watson on acoustic guitar, fiddle and vocals. Having been cooped up for much of the past two years, the reinvigorated lineup of Peter Morrison, Ross Couper, Innes Watson, Tom Salter, Norman Willmore, Innes Hutton and Stuart Brown are ready with new material and enthusiasm to set venues alight once again.
A true live phenomenon embraced by fans across the globe, Peatbog Faeries’ ingenious Celtic celebration is a no-nonsense, feel-good ride that never fails to fill the floor and delight crowds.
