Pleased to announce the full lineup for our "Black Isle Belter" this May. We're delighted to have so many of our friends and amazing artists come along to share the weekend with us.
Tickets are going quickly so we suggest you jump on and get yours today via the link below!!
A special thanks to
@CalMacFerries
& their staff for doing everything they can lately. It’s been a very pressurised season and their staff have had to put up with a lot of grief over the last while, over circumstances out with their control.
We’d certainly be lost without you!
Well.... tonight we stole Auntie Mairi’s Laraidh and went for a tour! Great craic and all for our Key-workers, the emergency services and our wonderful NHS. But, also for the people of Stornoway who need a lift now more than ever. Thanks to our drivers and pals!

Well here it is, our official 2020 Xmas video.
It may look like a “press record and go style phone video and hope that Boydie doesn’t say anything too bad” but this took 3 months of blood, sweat and tears.... and beers just to get this exactly how we wanted it.
Peat & Diesel formed 6 years ago following a call with Roddy Mackay who wanted us to play EDF in Uist after seeing a video online. We only had 3 songs and we had to fill the rest with some covers...we'll never forget how nervous we were that first gig!!
