Originally from Aberdeen,
the Old Blind Dogs line-up has evolved constantly over the years and over this
time the band has earned worldwide recognition
for their fresh approach to Scottish traditional music with their trademark tight,
carefully crafted fusion sound. A major factor in their music is their Northeastern
Doric heritage, a rich vein of culture and language which has perhaps been less
visible to the outside world than the more obvious Highland tradition.
In 2004, Old Blind Dogs
won the Folk Band of the Year award at the Scots Trad Music Awards, and Jim Malcolm
was also named Songwriter of the Year.
This is your last chance to see
the current line-up in action at Celtic Connections, as singer Jim Malcolm recently
announced he is leaving the band to concentrate on other projects.
