Old Blind Dogs Play Tornaveen

A firm Aboyne and Deeside Festival favourite - the ever popular Old Blind Dogs play Tornaveen.

The musical evolution of Old Blind Dogs began in Aberdeen in 1992 with roots that grew from the eclectic music scene that flourished in the Granite City during the early 90s. 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. Like many of the early flag bearing Scottish folk bands the Old Blind Dogs line-up has faced inevitable changes over the years but the core values at the band's musical heart continue to beat strongly.  

The current line-up consists of original member Jonny Hardie (fiddle/vocals), Aaron Jones (cittern/guitar/ vocals), Donald Hay (percussion/vocals) and now joined by the brilliant piper/whistle player Mike Katz, formerly with The Battlefield Band.
