The Tarbert Village Hall event, initially to be part of 2020's Tarbert Music Festival, was twice postponed because of the Covid pandemic and was received with even more enthusiasm as a result.
Peat and Diesel, who play a mix of Scottish folk music and Celtic punk, were supported by Glasgow rockers The Ronains and punk upstarts Anavrin, two members of which are pupils at Tarbert Academy.

Both bands played outstanding sets ahead of the main event, as Calum 'Boydie' MacLeod, Innes Scott and Uilly Macleod took to the stage just after 9pm to perform original Peat and Diesel favourites, as well as a few covers, played the Peat and Diesel way.
Organisers West Kintyre Promotions thanked concert-goers for their patience and described the event as a unique opportunity to see the trio in an intimate setting, adding: 'We want to thank everyone for coming out to the show on Friday night.
'It was great fun and it looked like everyone had a good night although [there were] maybe a few sore heids on Saturday!
'Our thanks to the bands Peat and Diesel, The Ronains and Anavrin for putting on such a brilliant night.'

A lucky ticket-holder for the Tarbert event said afterwards: 'It was a brilliant night!'
The Tarbert gig forms part of Peat and Diesel's 'Away With Your Wellies' 2022 UK tour, following their hugely successful January 2020 tour which saw the trio sell-out tickets for Glasgow’s iconic Barrowlands in one day.
