Join us for a night of Scottish traditional music with one of the hottest live tickets on the traditional Scottish music scene today - the Old Blind Dogs!

The musical evolution of OBD began in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1992 with roots that grew from the eclectic music scene that flourished in the Granite City during the early 90’s. Four musicians from very different musical backgrounds came together to create a full-time professional touring band with the aim of showcasing the rich tradition of songs and tunes of the North East of Scotland on an international stage.

Over 30 years later, the 'Dugs' have been inducted into the BBC ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards 'Trad Music Hall of Fame' (2020), and released their fourteenth studio album 'Knucklehead Circus’ - a joyous, uplifting and fun album full of compelling energy and intoxicating rhythm on which OBD continue to innovate within their tradition while faithfully revealing its essence.

The band includes  Aaron Jones (cittern/guitar/vocals), Donald Hay (percussion/vocals), Elias Alexander (pipes/whistles), and Elias Cardoso (fiddle). Learn more about the band at https://www.oldblinddogs.co.uk/.
