One of the UK's most celebrated fusion groups is coming to Bury.
The Peatbog Faeries, hailing from the Isle of Skye, are set to perform at The Met theatre on Sunday, September 1 as part of their I See a World tour.
The group, known for their mix of traditional jogs and reels and contemporary dance music, have carved a niche for themselves in the music scene with their innovative sound that blends elements of jazz, pop, and techno.
Despite their evolving style, they have maintained the signature sound that first earned them attention.
The band's line-up includes Norman Willmore on keys and alto sax, Innes Watson on acoustic guitar, fiddle and vocals, Stu Brown on drums, electronics and percussion, Peter Morrison on pipes and whistles, Ross Couper on fiddle and vocals, Tom Salter on guitar and Innes Hutton on bass.
Mr Morrison of the Peatbog Faeries said: "We can’t wait to continue our tour and visit even more new locations, as well as some regular venues that we always love to play.
"We’ve been delighted with the reaction to our new album, I See a World, and can’t wait to play our new music live for you all, along with some old favourites.
"We hope everyone in Bury is ready to bring the energy and make it a night to remember."
Since their formation in 1991, the Peatbog Faeries have gained a loyal following not just in Scotland, but worldwide.
They have toured continents from Australia to Africa, and North America to Asia.
Their accolades include the Scots Trad Music Live Act of the Year Award, which they have won twice, and the Hands Up for Trad Landmark Award.
They have released eight studio albums and two live albums, including their latest, I See a World, released in August 2023.
