The Peatbog Faeries are a celtic fusion band. Formed in 1994, they are based on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Their music embodies many styles and influences, including rock, jazz, electronica, and folk - but their main influence is traditional celtic music. The band's unique sound is created through a mix of programmed effects and traditional celtic arrangements, played on bagpipes, fiddles, and whistles.
Powerful melodies are 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. There is nothing in the slightest that is fey or fairy about this crew from Skye, instead they’re a glorious mash up of Scottish roots and just about everything else you care to throw in the blender.
"Welcome to the weird but undoubtedly wonderful world of The Peatbog Faeries, Skye's finest, where nothing is as it seems and you should always expect the unexpected.Their new album 'Croftwor'k is a dazzling mix of trad, funk, rock, electronics, brass and cavalier intention; they are, it not at the height of their powers, somewhere approaching.The Peatbog Faeires; gloriously unpredicatable, a band to treasure" - fRoots May 2006
"The Peatbog Faeries' increasingly adventurous melting pot of fragmented fiddle and pipe tunes, deep dub bass lines and all-round spacy electronica comprehensively rocked the house." - The Scotsman
"Imagine The Orb meeting a ceilidh band in the mind of Irvine Welsh. This is it! Billy Nasty may have mixed pipes and dance on the decks but the Peatbog Faeries can play it live and it blew the audience away." - Edinburgh Evening News
"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 drumkit at the back, prepares you for the high octane music of the Peatbog Faeries" - The Scotsman
"The most pumping, uplifting and exciting Scottish fusion you're ever likely to come across!" - Rootin' About
