Hailing from Dunvegan on the beautiful Isle of Skye, the “PEATBOGS” play their own unique brand of CELTIC FUSION taking all the elements of traditional SCOTTISH music and bringing it bang up to date.
Comprising Fiddle, Guitar, Bass, Pipes, Whistles, Percussion, Keyboards and Drums, the PEATBOG FAIRIES are a high energy, largely instrumental band who embody everything that is Celtic Fusion.You can expect a very contemporary set from this talented bunch where during a set you can expect to hear everything from traditional JIGS and REELS to HIP HOP, JAZZ and REGGAE but all with an ELECTRONIC twist !
With seven albums released over a twenty year career, the PEATBOGS are an award winning band and have twice won the Live Band of the Year award at the Scottish Traditonal Music Awards and have been nominated for the Live Band of the Year at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Their music has been used for several TV, radio and DVD soundtracks, and the band has even performed at the BBC Proms in the Park in Glasgow in collaboration with the Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
