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.

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.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
