Malt Room Standing
2023 saw a fresh start from multi-award-winning Scottish Hall of Famers, the Peatbog Faeries. Fuelled by fresh energy, the Peatbog Faeries entered an exciting phase with some new additions. This includes talented Shetlander Norman Willmore on keys and alto sax. They were soon joined by renowned multi-instrumentalist Innes Watson on guitar, fiddle and vocals, and top Scottish percussionist Stu Brown on drums and programming. With this dynamic new lineup, the Peatbogs released, to great acclaim, their tenth album, “I See a World”.
Hailing from the Isle of Skye, the legendary Scottish trailblazers have created a glorious mixture of traditional sounds and dance-floor grooves that have been embraced worldwide. They draw upon a dazzling myriad of influences, from jigs and reels to dance music, jazz, African rhythms, and so much more. This rich fusion shapes their distinctive sound. They bring the sound of Scotland – fresh-faced and breathless – to new audiences around the world.
From the moment they take to the stage, the mood is set for a no-nonsense feel-good atmosphere. Each number sounds like an encore itself. The traditional styles that influence the musicians can still be heard. Especially when an unexpected drop-down to those glorious core melodies sneaks in. The result is spine-chilling! In short, it rocks, and the audience becomes part of the experience.
The band is made up of Peter Morrison on pipes and whistles, Ross Couper on fiddle, Innes Watson on fiddle, vocals and acoustic guitar, Tom Salter on guitar, Norman Willmore on keyboards and sax, Innes Hutton on bass and lastly Stu Brown on drums.
Peatbog Faeries are firm favourites at festivals and venues across the UK. They have toured the world with their inventive and unique brand of music. Wherever they go, they never fail to fill the floor and undoubtedly delight crowds.
Reviews:
“Gloriously unpredictable, a band to treasure”. – fRoots
“Nothing prepares you for the high-octane music of the Peatbog Faeries. 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 heartbeat.” – The Scotsman
