Old Blind Dogs at Drumnadrochit
02 December 2005

Old Blind Dogs will be playing the last night of their current Highland tour at Glen Urquhart Public Hall, Blairbeg, Drumnadrochit on Saturday 17th December 2005.

Winners of "Band of the Year" at the Scots Trad Music Awards 2004, and nominees for "Best Live Act" this year, Old Blind Dogs have stood at the leading edge of the roots revival that has both reawakened and revolutionised Scottish folk music for over a decade. Combining a deep appreciation of ancient traditions with a highly contemporary, dynamically cosmopolitan musical approach, their uniquely distinctive arrangements of ballads, airs, and dance-tunes put the sounds of their homeland firmly on the world music map. The rest of their rich tapestry of sound is made up of bass, bouzouki, harmonica, Border pipes, drums and percussion played with skill, talent and joie de vivre and spine tingling vocals which will sweep you away. This is the last night of their current Highland tour so they'll be pulling all the stops out. Unmissable.

"A major force to be reckoned with… a source of continual surprises… firmly establishes their position as one of the most exciting Scottish bands around, bar none" - Folk Roots (UK)

"Old Blind Dogs bring freshness and colour to acoustic music steeped in centuries of
Scottish folklore and history"
- Los Angeles Times
