Fifteen years after their landmark debut Mellowosity, having twice won Live Act of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards, Skye's Peatbog Faeries released their sixth and finest album, Dust, in August 2011. Now comprising Peter Morrison (pipes/whistles), Peter Tickell (fiddle), Tom Salter (guitar), Innes Hutton (bass), Graeme Stafford (keyboards) and Stuart Haikney (drums), plus The Wayward Boys' resplendent wall of brass, their mix of jigs, reels, jazz, hip-hop, reggae, electronica and more continues to lead the Celtic dance music field.

Electrifying Scottish hip-hop crew Stanley Odd spark off MC Solareye's wickedly eloquent wordcraft and Veronika Elektronika's wry, sensuous vocals, while piano, guitar, bass and drums serve up the slickest of beats.

At the heart of the festival is the vibrant folk and traditional music scene, with some of the UK and Ireland’s finest musicians set to raise the roof this January.
