About Peat and Diesel
Hailing from the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Peat and Diesel burst onto the Scottish music scene with a refreshing honesty and an infectious, DIY spirit that quickly garnered them a massive following. Formed in 2018, the trio consists of Boydie (vocals and guitar), Innes (drums), and Uilly (bass). Their sound, often described as “Stornoway Alternative,” is a vibrant blend of traditional Celtic folk melodies, punk-rock energy, and lyrics that paint vivid, often hilarious, pictures of island life, fishing, and everyday vignettes.
Their rise to fame was organic and rapid, fuelled by viral social media videos and word-of-mouth buzz about their electrifying live shows. Tracks like “Calum Dan’s Transit Van,” “That’s The Way We Do It,” and “Western Isles” became anthems, resonating with a wide audience far beyond their island home. Their albums, including “Uptown Fank” and “Light My Byre,” showcase their unique storytelling ability and the raw authenticity that defines their appeal. Peat and Diesel aren’t just musicians; they’re cultural ambassadors, bringing the spirit and humour of the Western Isles to every stage they grace, promising a night of genuine craic and unforgettable music.
