Editorial Reviews

Norma Waterson Sunday Times June 1999

"The Peatbog Faeries...rock"!

Product Description

Description: The modern sound of Scotland gives traditional music a bit of a kick. Oh yes, you’ll find traditional instruments (pipes, fiddle, bodhran) in the Peatbogs and also traditional tunes alongside the synths, but this really is Scottish music for the 21st century - and well beyond. The Faeries are from Skye and Edinburgh and their trade mark is a high energy techno groove putting reggae, ska and dub into the melting pot with the tradition and coming up with music you HAVE to dance your socks off to. Their new album "Faerie Stories" is out on Greentrax and is the long-awaited follow up to their unique debut "Mellowosity". BBC Celtic Roots

I must say i do like the peatbog's. i first heard them on a celtic music stream i have on my computer. they have beautifle instrumental's in the tradtional style of scottish celtic, but then theyll rock your socks, off w/ something you didnt even see coming... i would reccomend this CD to anyone who is a fan of celtic or who would like to get into celtic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where the Peat Meets the Road, October 18, 2007

By	Montague Whitsel (Western Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This album -- the band's first -- is a jewel; a prefgurement of things to come (on "Faerie Stories" and "Welcome to Dun Vegas" and their more recent work) and a bridge between traditional Scots-Celtic music and a progressive realm of musical explorations all the Peatbog Faeries' own. I dance to this CD, I meditate to it, and I continully go back to it, surprised by the traditional sounds that come through, even as the players stretch the idioms and remake old musical motifs. An excellent album! A treasure to possess.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really fun, new music, August 7, 2007

Okay, the band might not be "new" to everyone but it is still flying low on the radar in the U.S. It shouldn't, though! Fun music, scottish highlands meet rock/pop...it's all good!
