Peat & Diesel music set to reach global audience in new Disney series

THE music of Scottish folk sensations Peat & Diesel is to feature in a new Disney series.

In a tweet, the Lewis-based band said they were delighted to be asked by Disney for the use of their music in the superhero comedy series Extraordinary.

The show is set in a world where everyone over the age of 18 - except a character called Jen - develops a superpower.

It comes after the band have enjoyed continuing success with their fun-loving songs about the life in the Western Isles.

The band said: "Delighted and privileged to be asked by Disney+ for use of our music on one of the episodes of “Extraordinary” which will premiere today on the channel.

"For all those with access to Disney+ you can now access all eight episodes today."

Recently they filled the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall for Celtic Connections after enjoying sold-out dates at famous venues such as the Barrowlands.

In 2019, they were in the running for the UK iTunes Christmas number one spot with Fairytale of Stornoway, a song featuring Gaelic singer Mairead Nicholson.

Last summer, the band made a headline appearance at the Highlands' Belladrum music festival after making a dash from Stornoway with just 12 hours' notice, replacing Eurovision star Sam Ryder.
