44th Cambridge Folk Festival

Peatbog Faeries

Part of the newest folk movement, Peatbog Faeries come from the samevein of acid croft that was also pioneered and championed by the late, lamented Martyn Bennett.
Peatbog Faeries have played Cambridge on a number of occasions. In the early days they were a band that polarised the audience, causing a lot of toing and froing in the tent, but gradually this folk style has taken on wider recognition.
What they have done everytime they've played is given it 100% of pure redblooded energy. This is a band that simply doesn't understand personal space. From the word go they're in your face challenging you not to dance. It's also difficult to ignore a band that throws bagpipes into the mix.
