Peatbog Faeries

Peatbog Faeries are playing Studio 27 at The White Rock in Hastings on Thursday 29 October, with the music starting at 8.00pm. They're one of Scotland's best-known names in contemporary folk, hailing from the Isle of Skye and described as legendary Scottish trailblazers. Their sound blends traditional Gaelic music with dance-floor grooves, drawing on jigs and reels alongside jazz and African influences. The music is mainly instrumental, building themes and soundscapes into a trademark hypnotic sound that pairs the fiddle and highland pipes with techno rhythms.

On stage, the band is a seven-piece. Peter Morrison is on pipes and whistles, Ross Couper on fiddle, and Innes Watson on acoustic guitar, fiddle and vocals. Tom Salter plays guitar, Norman Willmore takes keyboards and sax, Innes Hutton is on bass, and Stuart Brown is on drums. With that many instruments in the mix, you've got the pipes and fiddle leading the way, the guitar and keyboards filling out the sound, and a full rhythm section of bass and drums to keep it moving.

It's a studio standing show, so you'll be on your feet for the night rather than in a seated auditorium. Under-14s must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets are £29.10, which includes a 10% booking fee, and the set kicks off at 8.00pm.
