The traditional music of Scotland is blended with hard-edged funk, deep dub reggae, and modern jazz influences by the Peatbog Faeries. Based on the Isle of Skye, off the northwest coast of Scotland, the original lineup of the band comprised Peter Morrison (bagpipes, whistle), Ben Ivitsky (fiddle), Ali Penthland (guitar, keyboards), Innes Hutton (bass, bodhrán), and Iain Copeland (drums); they formally came together in 1994, but the members had been playing together since childhood. Over the years the band’s lineup underwent a number of changes and by 2012 it featured Morrison and Hutton alongside Peter Tickell (fiddle), Tom Salter (guitar), Graeme Stafford (keyboards) and Stu Haikney (drums).
