Scotland on Tour: Peatbog Faeries to play Larbert's Dobbie Hall

Scotland on Tour, the exciting initiative that is supporting the recovery of the country’s live music industry, is bringing the iconic group to the area on Friday, June 24.

They will be creating a glorious mixture of traditional sounds and dance-floor grooves that have been embraced worldwide.

Their mainly instrumental music allows the band to develop exciting themes and soundscapes, as well as locking into their trademark hypnotic sound that no-one can resist dancing to.Peter Morrison from the Peatbog Faeries said: “We are really looking forward to playing Dobbie Hall as it’s not somewhere we usually get to play. It’s great to see this kind of support for regional venues that aren’t always part of the usual touring circuit.

"I’m really looking forward to meeting the community and giving them a right Highland party!”David Ure, director of Fusion Event Group who are putting on this show, said: “It’s brilliant to be able to support the Scotland on Tour initiative, and bring bands to our area that quite often head to the big cities when they are touring. It’s a great opportunity for people to see these artists, especially the huge and talented Peatbog Faeries, right on their doorstep.

"The band brings an eclectic mix of traditional music with modern dance sounds. They are a special talent and will give you a night to remember!”

Scotland on Tour will take place over a period of 12 months between April 2022 and 2023, supporting the creation of hundreds of concerts and performances at much-loved arts centres, town halls and community venues across Scotland.
