reminiscent of early Richard Thompson band with John Kirkpatrick on accordion and Pete Mattacks on drums. Check out the More Guitar album (different drummer but that same driving interaction between the three instruments)
Quality stuff lads. Loch Maree is a personal favourite. Also like your take on Tony Rice's ""I've waited as long as I can". It's a great bluegrass tune.
What a pleasure it'd be to know someone who goes by the name of "Middenface McNulty". (edit) After doing a bit of research it seems you were talking about a character from 2000 AD. I had thought you were just talking about a guy called Middenface McNulty giving it laldy in a pub called The Strontium Dog. 😂🤣
The bass sound is coming from Uilly's accordion, or more specifically it's what his left hand is playing. I think it's a midi accordion so it's probably patched into something to make a bass guitar sound rather than what a traditional accordion would produce. It's easier to see in the HMV Instore gig clip that his left hand is moving in time with the bass sound.
Great Music from the lads, from listening to the Cundeez and learning of their partnership with Peat and Diesel, its good to be open to new music rather than the usual charty stuff. Everybody looked like they pure lapped up the event. 👍
The music is great. It makes me sad that so many American scots have no idea where they’re from. We just get labeled ‘white’ as if we’re the English swine ourselves. Our culture is so rich but we just get lumped in.
Carson a tha thu a strumming like a folk group when you rocking a like 1985 hair metal Ibanez 24 fret with a Floyd Rose? càit a bheil mo fucking sweep tapping?
I bet they were conflicted about playing to such an over privileged bunch. As someone already remarked. Over 300k for their new year party at the UK's expense...
Because times change and music evolves. These guys have done similar to what the pogues done with Irish music, their own compositions mixed with classic traditional songs. Perhaps not to everyone's taste but clearly enjoyed by lots from the other comments here.
Well, Andy Stewart passed away in 1993 & BBC Alba launched in 2008. . In the 1960s I watched the White Heather Club, now I watch Alba. Still listen to Andy Stewart & the Alexander Brothers, but love Peat & Diesel as an authentic Scottish voice for the 2010s & 2020s.
I think Andy Stewart would enjoy this-he was a man who enjoyed bringing all the little quirks of Scottish culture and celebrating them in all their glory-exactly what p+d do.
Great days...people actually enjoying themselves..."ooh we must stop this and oppress them"...and the rest,as they say,is history. A shameful,disgraceful situation we're now "existing" in.
It costs the UK a fortune to sponsor BBC Alba. Even proud English see the worth if music like yours! This music is Western Isles aggressive but, you have a good audience south of Carlisle. Curious this New Year Alba however was in Motherwell? Is it true that Alba New Year 2020 cost £370,000 paid by the UK. Whilst I love these musicians, it is also true that living in Surrey ; I pay a 35 pence surcharge per mile into London to subsidise Scotrail. If Sturgeon gets her way ,I for one, born in the Highlands, will make it my life's work to attack the SNP ruination of Scotland, starting with the bad manners of Alba about funding.
Mach a seo leis "costs UK" and as fot the rest of your comment, London is subsidised more than the whole of Scotland. That's London, not the whole of England! Some Highlander attacking Scots. Related to the Campbells per chance 🥱🥱🥱
Alba still belongs to the BBC, not anything to do with Holyrood/Scotgov, etc. Same goes for 'Scotrail/Abelio/whoever the heck it is now - These franchises are the work of Tory/Uk Gov privatisations. Band are good, nonetheless...
Good heavens, what a mean-spirited comment. As if Scots didn't pay taxes and TV licenses the same as anyone else in other parts of the UK. It may have escaped your notice, but "the UK" also "sponsors" content-making for the BBC in England, in Wales (and specifically Welsh-language content), and in Northern Ireland too, you know. You don't get your English programming for free either. You pay your licence fee. And "the UK" provides grants to media companies across England, partly with funds raised in Scotland. BBC TV licenses raise in excess of £350m pounds in Scotland. Less than £100m of that goes on purely Scottish programming, and only about 10% of that purely Scottish programming goes on BBC Alba. But you begrudge BBC Alba getting a small amount out of the total BBC Scotland budget to make content for Scottish people, partly in their native language. Shame on you! You in Surrey are/were not paying surcharges to subsidise Scotrail. At the time you were writing, Scotrail was run on franchise by Abellio, a *for-profit* commercial enterprise that also runs rail services in England, equally for profit. What you were paying surcharges for was to subsidise the construction of the Elizabeth Line (formerly called Crossrail) in London, so don't give us your nonsense about that. Also, you chose to live in Surrey. Nobody forced you to. If you want to have a say in how Scotland is run, move back there.
This has the fun factor of early Saw Doctors. Love it!
The Pogues, meet The Dubliners meets Scotland! Bloody amazing!! Great to see this kind of music still being made.
these people are from skye !!!! so you cant compare to the irish
@@kareenstrathearn7950 actually they're from Stornoway in the Hebrides
The pogues aren't irish
@@malcolm1148 Pour yourself a little whisky , take it to the abbey give it Laldy . A place where the English didn’t manage take away our Native Language 🏴✊
@@kareenstrathearn7950 actually yes you can compare as their music does sound like a cross between the pogues and the Dubliners with a Scottish twist.
Can’t stop listen to this, those guys are brilliant!!!
Here we are once again on New Year's Eve, and this is still the best thing we'll witness on this fine evening!
my german friends now irish citizens had to tell me, a west scot about these guys lol im hooked
iam stuck in the house in a low way, not now I've got peat & diesel on youtube what a rave up iam having
By far the best thing about Hogmanay TV this year 😁😁😁
I wouldn't like to see the worst thing about Hogmanay if this is the best. He's no Andy Stewart is he?
Ivan Dinsmore thank Christ!
@@ivandinsmore6217 - loved Andy Stewart . . he was a major talent ! My love of Andy Stewart or any other Scottish singer is not diminished by these lads.
Great fun !
Wish I’d thought to tune into alba on hogmanay
I've seen Runrig many times back to 1982. This is the first band who can close to filling that gap after they finished
That was a huge gap to fill.....
Love your music! Original! Keep that high octane, enjoyable music going! Wish I was lucky enough to attend one of your concerts!
Just found them today banging
What fabulous craic they are. Real music
Saw them at fat sam's Dundee . absolutely brilliant.!! If you can go and see them !!
The versatile talent of these three is remarkable; interrelation with accordion and guitar and drums is a talent; they are collectively very able!

By Far and a Country Mile, The Best New Year Show Ever :-) What a way to Start 2020
This band is magic 🖒 cany wait to see them at their next gig
Iam going to see them in Dundee tomorrow, can't wait
Unreal!! Love this!! Pure music 🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️
Amazing! what music is all about!!
Uilly changed it because he ate them all
I'm love their songs
Smashing it!!!! Awesome performance boys, keep it up
If there’s a Scottish wedding from now on without these gudgies playing. You’re not doing it right.
gadgies
Two cheeks of the same arse
Finally, someone new (to me at least), and brilliant! 🍁👍
These boys are amazing. Add a fiddle and a pipe and they'd be unstoppable.
Peat and diesel are brilliant not forgetting beluga lagoon another excellent Scottish group yeee ha from a guy in Kirkcaldy
Quality stuff lads. Loch Maree is a personal favourite. Also like your take on Tony Rice's ""I've waited as long as I can". It's a great bluegrass tune.
Can Someone please explain why I always get emotional when I watch this?
Cos yer a big feckin' softie. 😉😁
was a great show, thank you.
Makes u proud to be Scottish
The last time I encountered "giving it laldy" was Middenface McNulty in Strontium Dog.
What a pleasure it'd be to know someone who goes by the name of "Middenface McNulty".

@@grahamlive I'd drink there.
Fingers crossed the gig will be on after the shinty final in Kingussie 21st September
Class
Enjoy glesga morra night.🎉
The three of them I think may understand their music but these Western Isles boys really do not get how good they are lyrically and musically!
Superb... as usual!
Boydie is a western isles answer to Shane macgowan
I was just thinking that
Hopefully he won't go down the same route as S.M. did.
Awesome guys!
Need a recorded version of Brandy in the airigh. So good
Too right! Love it
MacJack I believe will be on new album
@@donaldmackenzie4332 yeah I thought it might be
The bbc must have censored magic mushrooms 😂😂
Well coves if I knew yous where in the shire I could have got a catch up and a wee dram lol
These tunes just make me happy as fuck 😀
Great show...
What a band nice to see something different from the traditional Tweedledum tweedle dee bands.Celtic Rock brilliant vocalist lyrics make you laugh.
Scots Folk music at it's best. I hear bass but see no bass player.
The bass sound is coming from Uilly's accordion, or more specifically it's what his left hand is playing. I think it's a midi accordion so it's probably patched into something to make a bass guitar sound rather than what a traditional accordion would produce.

@@adriancherrill8479 Accordion Base, common these days
Adrian Cherrill ,thanks for the info, I was wondering the same thing about the bass myself
@@adriancherrill8479 Uilly is the drummer. The accordeon player is Innes.
Great Music from the lads, from listening to the Cundeez and learning of their partnership with Peat and Diesel, its good to be open to new music rather than the usual charty stuff.

Hope peat and diesel will make it to drumnadrochit one fine day like runrig before them cheers vicars 😀

Stroll on Dundee, coves!
Yaas quality

Shane McGowan channeling Hamish Imlach
Does anyone know what the first song is called?
11:33 what happened to the presenter's top set?
Puro pinche viejito 😂 I love it !
He's no Andy Stewart is he?
Whatever happened to Jimmy Stewart, Jimmy Shand (and his orchestra), eh, eh?
2;28 that dude looks familier
A bit like box o bananas, if anybody remembers them.
Well
I've no idea what he is doing with the brandy? I likes it tho.
Taking it to the alley and giving it laldy
@@karenmcdonald9262 Thanks for clearing that up. I then had to google laidy. Hahaha. I would never of gotten there on my own.
OK - is there a hidden bass player?
Uilly is playing bass parts with his left hand on the accordion.
Hold on, I forgot Robin Hall and Jimmy McGregor..
On second thoughts, bollix
The music is great. It makes me sad that so many American scots have no idea where they’re from. We just get labeled ‘white’ as if we’re the English swine ourselves. Our culture is so rich but we just get lumped in.

Keep this amateur law centre Sturgeon away from the purity of these boys.
De?
This gig was wasted on the OAPs in the audience.......they should have been home isolating from Covid.
This was filmed before covid obviously New year so January 2020 before covid was discovered end of February
How did they go from Andy Stewart to this?
