"The most pumping, uplifting and exciting Scottish fusion you're ever likely to come across!" - Rootin' About

Winners of "Live Act of the Year" at the Scottish Traditional Music Awards in December 2008

Based on the Isle of Skye, the Peatbog Faeries have been described as 'the future of celtic dance music'. They incorporate many influences which take them from traditional jigs and reels through jazz, hip hop, reggae and more. This is high octane Celtic dance music so be prepared to dance!

They are Peter Morrison (pipes and whistles), Adam Sutherland & Peter Tickell (fiddles), Tom Salter (guitar), Innes Hutton (bass, percussion) Graeme Stafford (keyboards) and Iain Copeland (drums), plus The Wayward Boys - Brass Section.

The band have toured all over the world and won numerous awards, including the 'Best Live Act' at the prestigious Scots Traditional Music Awards. Their inventive and unique approach always brings to its audience a true flavour of traditional Scottish music. Their music has been used for several TV, radio and DVD soundtracks, and the band were commissioned by the Scottish Ballet for an original piece performed for the first time in the Citizen's Theatre in Glasgow. In 2007 they performed at the BBC Proms in the Park in Glasgow in collaboration with the Scottish Symphony Orchestra who acted as their 'backing band'! Their latest album "What Men Deserve to Lose" (2007) is one of their finest yet.


"Powerful melodies are dextrously pumped out with a smart degree of techno attitude, while cross-rhythms ricochet over a heavy bass that hits you forcefully like a massive heart beat. Nothing in the recognisable front line of bagpipes, fiddle, synthesiser, bass and rhythm guitar, with a straight drum kit at the back, prepares you for the high octane music of the Peatbog Faeries" -The Scotsman
