Product Description
CD Description
What Men Deserve To Lose is a phrase taken from Derek Cooper's Skye – "Faeries have foibles similar to humans – they can even get drunk. Favourite occupations are spinning, weaving and grinding meal or making faerie arrows. Some faeries are poorer than others, and reading old descriptions of faerie life gives rise to the impression that being a faerie is every bit as tedious as being human. Like rain, faeries usually come from the west and are a thieving lot even though they only take what men deserve to lose." It is also the title of the sparkling new, fifth album from one of Scotland's most innovative and popular groups the Peatbog Faeries. Based on the Isle of Skye, the Peatbog Faeries have accurately been described as 'the future of Celtic dance music'. Their music mixes traditional roots and folklore with influences from jazz, hip hop, reggae and beyond, to produce a unique contemporary fusion. The musicians on the new album are Peter Morrison (pipes & whistles), Adam Sutherland (fiddles), Innes Hutton (bass, acoustic guitar, vocals) Tom Salter (guitar), Graeme Stafford (keyboards), Iain Copeland (drums, percussion & programming), Rick Taylor (trombone & vocals). Also: Nigel Hitchcock (alto & tenor Saxophones), Paul Spong (trumpet), Seamus MacLennan (mandola), Calum MacLean (banjo & programming) and John Disco (additional guitar on Nyup). Tracks: The Locks & Rocks Reel / The Invergarry Blues / Jason's Famous Banjo / There's A Girl Behind The Bar Who Thinks She's Garbo / Sudden Dilemma / Friend Of Crazy Joe / Dr. Gig / Still Drunk In The Morning / Ramasaig / Nyup.

Another brilliant album. (No.5)
Brilliant sax on Sudden Dilemma.
Usual mix of drum and brass, fiddles, pipes, whistles etc. superbly distilled. Just like a great single malt.
Liked the sleeve notes with pictures of New York, Sydney and a ruined croft on Skye (Ramasaig)
I have listened to it 3 times back to back after it was delivered tonight!
Buy it and enjoy!
Don't lose it though!
Can't wait to see them live in July

I think this is a bit mellower than Croftwork which I preferred - Croftwork being a bit more lively. Still, I enjoyed it though

Another brilliant album from the legendary Faeries! Wonderful to listen to and the brass/woodwind section is amazing. I have this album before its release since i got to see them last night and they were selling it early. Amazing live show, one of the best nights iv'e had in a long time! fully reccommended to anyone who is into world musics. Amazing band, live and recorded! five stars

The Irish Version
Got into this band a year ago after I heard about them when up in Skye.
Did the daft thing and bought their earlier albums until I saw them live at the the Middlewich Folk... Read more

Another Stormer
Another cracker of an album from the Peatbogs. More synths and funky stuff from the brass section, plus plenty of great tunes (especially Adam's). Read more

Men Deserve Better
I have to say that this is a rather dissapointing follow up to the excellent Croftwork. A kind of Latino-lite folk fusion that ends up sounding a bit confused and busy. Read more
