Based on the Isle of Skye, the Peatbog Faeries released their
debut album Mellowosity in 1996 to critical acclaim. Since then
they have toured extensively and are in great demand at festivals
around the world. This is high octane Celtic dance music which
incorporates many musical influences, from traditional jigs and
reels through to jazz, hip-hop and reggae.
"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. Reggae, dub and
soca rhythms all play their part with a lot of gorgeously
undulating modal melodies from Macedonia and further ... 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)
