'The Old Blind Dogs' - The 25 Years Tour
Since forming in the early 1990’s, Old Blind Dogs have stood on the cutting edge of Scotland’s roots revival. The band has developed its own trademark style with an energetic mix of songs and tunes. Dynamic percussion, polished vocals, soaring fiddle and stirring pipes fuel the delicately phrased melodies and traditional songs. Aaron Jones, Bouzouki, Vocals, Guitar and one of the most sought after accompanists on the traditional music scene today. Jonny Hardie, fiddles and vocals, who co-founded Old Blind Dogs in 1929, or thereabouts. Ali Hutton, Pipes, Whistles, Guitar, from Perthshire, was inspired at the age of 7 to take up the bagpipes and rose through the ranks of the world famous Vale of Atholl Pipe Band. Donald Hay, Percussion, Vocals, a drummer/percussionist with an exceptional ability to play with power, empathy, delicacy and drama. The evening will open with a set from ‘The Northenders‘, who, suprisingly, come from the north end of Skye.Date: 03/04/18
