Peat and Diesel

Peat and Diesel, hailing from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland's Outer Hebrides, are a folk-rock band with a twist of humor and a true island spirit. The trio, consisting of Calum 'Boydie' Macleod on lead vocals and guitar, Innes 'G' Scott on accordion, and Uilleam 'Uilly' Macleod on drums, has garnered a reputation for their infectious mix of traditional Celtic tunes, folk storytelling, and rock sensibilities, all delivered with a distinctly Hebridean lilt. Since their formation in 2018, they have captured the hearts of fans across Scotland and beyond, celebrated for their genuine connection to their roots and charismatic live performances.

Peat and Diesel's musical journey has seen them soar in popularity, guided by their gritty tales of island life and unique takes on relationships and local culture. With their second album “Light My Byre” released in January 2020 following their debut "Uptown Fank," the band has not only showcased their capability to pen relatable and rousing tracks but also demonstrated their versatility and unpretentious charm. Their most recent offering, "Live at the Barrowlands 2020," captures the raw energy and camaraderie of their live shows, further solidifying their status as a beloved fixture on the Scottish music scene. The album "Salt and Pepper" adds to their growing discography, promising more foot-stomping rhythms and captivating stories wrapped in the band's distinctive brand of acoustic rock.
