Peatbog Faeries in Stroud

The Peatbog Faeries bring their electrifying Celtic fusion to Stroud for a night of genre-defying music. Formed in 1991 on the Isle of Skye, the band blends traditional Scottish instruments like bagpipes, fiddles, and whistles with electronic effects, African rhythms, jazz, and rock. Their live shows are known for high energy and a dance-friendly atmosphere, drawing from a catalog that spans over two decades.

Attendees can expect a setlist that might include tracks from acclaimed albums like *Croftwork* and *Blackhouse*, where brass instruments and saxophones join the mix. The band's unique sound—once dubbed "acid croft"—creates a vibrant, immersive experience that appeals to both folk purists and adventurous music fans. With multiple "Live Band of the Year" awards from the Scottish Traditional Music Awards, the Peatbog Faeries deliver a performance that is both rooted in tradition and boldly contemporary.
