Loved the mix of pipe and fiddle with modern! Scottish music evolves but keeps its identity!

I’m American, and we were on a tour of England and Scotland. We got off the bus, and around the corner I heard the most amazing music! The Peatbog Faeries were playing on the street ( it was a bank holiday) . Totally blew my hair back! Their music definitely reached my Scots soul. The best!

One of my favourite bands of all time.
I’ve literally listened to these guys for hundreds of hours in my work.
They are always incredible. But extra kudos to the sound guys and lighting folks. Spot on! Superb job!
