Although the venue wasn&#8217;t perhaps as full as it might have been, but everyone there seemed to be up for a good time. There were ten of them on stage, and the music was great fun. It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve danced reels and swings with total strangers. I&#8217;d guess that their Hogmanay show in Inverness will be quite something.<br \/>\nAnyhow, they&#8217;re on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.peatbogfaeries.com\/Tour-Info.html\">tour<\/a> right now, and they&#8217;ve got a new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Live-Peatbog-Faeries\/dp\/B001URRY74\">live album<\/a>. I&#8217;ll definitely be seeing them again next time they&#8217;re down here.<br \/>\nAnd the support band, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.6dayriot.co.uk\/\">6 Day Riot<\/a>, was pretty good too!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adambowie\/3489353043\/\" title=\"Peatbog Faeries - Dingwalls 30 April 09 (4 of 17) by adambowie, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3538\/3489353043_f359f98ce4.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"254\" alt=\"Peatbog Faeries - Dingwalls 30 April 09 (4 of 17)\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>(More photos on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adambowie\/sets\/72157617532425072\/\">Flickr<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peatbog Faeries are a band that I really came across when I was up in Skye last year.
