Hailing from the
Isle of Skye, members of Peatbog Faeries have been playing together since childhood
but the band officially began in 1994. They soon became a bit of a Scottish institution
thanks to their uncanny ability to work a crowd into a dancing frenzy, and this
party spirit has won them fans at festivals all over the world.
As well as their usual habit of beefing up the bagpipes and fiddles
with synths, big basslines and rock drumming, for their fourth and most recent
album, Croftwork, they have further expanded the Peatbog sound with the addition
of a brass section.
