The Peatbog Faeries are a Scottish band based on the Isle of Skye. They are known for their unique blend of Celtic melodies with jazz and folk overtones, making them one of Scotland's best-known names in contemporary folk music. Since forming in 1991, they have played to fans all over the world and have won multiple awards, including induction into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame. With Peter Morrison and Innes Hutton as the remaining original members, they continue to captivate audiences with their individual brand of Scottish tunes.

Originally formed in 1991 at a concert in Edinburgh, The Peatbog Faeries have been going strong ever since. Over the years, there have been changes in personnel and musical direction. Their limited edition cassette "The Great Ceilidh Swindle" was released in 1995, followed by signing to Greentrax record label where they recorded their album "Mellowocity" in 1996 - a top seller for nearly 15 years.

In 2002, the band added a brass section to their lineup and embraced a new musical direction with their album "Welcome to Dunvegas". Further lineup changes occurred over time, resulting in albums such as "Croftwork" (2005), "What Men Deserve to Lose" (2007), and their first live album (2009). The brass section featured prominently on their album "Dust" (2012

The new studio album from the Peatbogs Faeries I See A World, brings you, for the first time, heady songs as well as fresh traditional electronic dance (TRED) music

Combining traditional tunes with everything from Drum and Bass to Malian guitar, the band create a sound that's uniquely their own. Their new album, I See a World, takes the band further on their musical journey, integrating the creative input of 3 new members, all with fresh ideas and contemporary influences - Norman Wilmore on keys and saxophone, Stu Brown on drums and programming and Innes Watson on guitar, fiddle, and vocals. The album was born in the band's spiritual home on Skye, between a boat hut and an excellent pub for a tune, the Carbost Inn. The band honed and polished the tracks in Glasgow's GloWorm studio with producer Andrea Gobbi. The band have brought in some amazing guest artists, the beautiful voices of Heather Macleod and Gina Rae,the incredible horns of Helena Kay and the band are thrilled to feature Uilleann Pipes from Ireland's finest, Ryan Murphy, and the talents of Krishna Kishor on percussion from Chennai in India. I See a World transports the listener across the sea from Skye.
