Peat and Diesel cancel 16-date tour

Peat and Diesel’s autumn line-up of concerts have been cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Plans for a 16-date tour shuddered to a stop as rising virus incident rates make it increasingly unlikely for gigs to go-ahead.

Live music venues in Scotland remain closed, hitting most of the Hebridean trio’s shows up to the end of the year including events in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverness, Aberdeen and Dundee.

First stop on the iteniterany was meant to be Cork - but the Irish count is set to move up to a level three alert.

Belfast was due to be next but but a ban on live music means the doors stay shuttered.

Rescheduling dates are being arranged for 2021.

In a statement the band said: “All our gigs are cancelled for 2020.

Our Scottish, English and Irish tour is going nowhere.

“That CO-‘RHONA’VIRUS carry on has put the kaibosh on the party!!

“All gigs are currently being rescheduled so don’t panic.

“We will hopefully have it sorted and a post up in the next few days for new dates in 2021.

“Thanks to everyone that supported us along the way.

“We are heartbroken thinking about all the events staff and the other bands who are all in for a tough time.

“A lot of them have become great friends and we miss you.”
