Peat & Diesel clean up for the local NHS

In these troubled times, we need to get important messages across to younger members of our community in new ways. The light-hearted video highlights the importance of handwashing during the coronavirus pandemic, in a way that should make you smile.

Whilst it’s not intended to be educational or an instruction video, it gets an important message across.

The message is communicated in the unmistakable tongue-in-cheek Peat & Diesel style, and features the band in never before seen footage.

NHS Western Isles chief executive, Gordon Jamieson, said: “We are delighted to team up with Peat & Diesel again. By having their support we can reach younger age groups with an important message. The intention of the video is clearly to raise awareness of the importance of hand washing and is not intended to be an accurate demonstration (which is provided in our Infection Control video at: https://vimeo.com/464916296). We want to sincerely thank Peat and Diesel, and to Wee Studio Records for again supporting us get our message across.

“Not only does this band create some excellent music, they are strong supporters of the local NHS and have helped raise awareness of important messages on several occasions. We are extremely grateful for their ongoing support.”

Peat and Diesel’s accordionist, Innes Scott, said: “We were only too delighted to lend our support to NHS Western Isles and we hope our music continues to spread important health messages. We hope you enjoy the video!”
