Since forming in the early 1990's, the Old Blind Dogs have stood on the cutting edge of Scotland’s roots revival. The band has developed its own trademark style with energetic mix of songs and tunes. Dynamic percussion, polished vocals, soaring fiddle and stirring pipes fuel the delicately-phrased melodies and traditional songs. The Dogs now sixteen years old have release over ten albums and have toured extensively around the globe.



“A Scots neo-traditional super group, with a bracingly modern musical attack.”

(Montreal Gazette)



"The skill, talent and verve with which they played, belied their laddishness and the crowd responded with thunderous applause. Folk is the new rock and roll."

(Evening News).



“The Old Blind Dogs play with a compelling energy and intoxicating rhythm, players and audience seem to share a wild ecstasy of emotion.”

(The Scotsman)



"Old Blind Dogs have mastered the tricky art of innovating within a musical tradition while faithfully revealing its essence."

(Acoustic Guitar)



"Old Blind Dogs bring freshness and colour to acoustic music steeped in centuries of Scottish folklore and history."

(Los Angeles Times)



Their latest album "Four On The Floor" picked up the IAP Best Celtic CD award in 2007 also that year they walked away with the Best Band Award in the BBC Scots Trad Music Awards.
