ISLE of Skye based folk band The Peatbog Faeries will be returning to one of their favourite intimate venues this Saturday.

The Peatbog Faeries, who have released four albums to date and have played to audiences all over the world, stop off at the Citadel before heading to Europe.

The Faeries are an eclectic mix of unusual and eccentric individuals. The line-up has slowly evolved over the years, but the current members seem to be sticking around for the party. They live on the Isle-of-Skye where they write and record their music.

Last year the band promoted their new album, "Croftwork" with some extensive touring, including festivals such as Glastonbury, Cambridge and Beautiful Days. In November, the band won the award for 'Best Live Act of 2005' at the prestigious Scots Trad Music Awards.

Previous highlights for the band have included tours of Namibia and Botswana, USA, Singapore and Australia, playing the main stage at midnight at Glasgow's massive Millennium celebrations, televised appearance at Celtic Connections and numerous festival dates in England, Denmark, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Czech Republic, Portugal and Sweden.

Their music has been used for several TV and DVD soundtracks; they have undertaken numerous TV and radio performances, as well as being commissioned by Scottish Ballet for an original piece performed for the first time in the Citizen's Theatre in Glasgow.

The Peatbog's laid-back rhythms and contemporary groove still have that identifiable Scottish accent.

Tickets are priced at £15 (£13 conc). Doors 7.30pm.
