2027 sees Old Blind Dogs celebrate their 35th anniversary with the release of a brand new album—marking over three decades at the forefront of Scottish traditional music.
Formed in Aberdeen in 1992, Old Blind Dogs emerged as key players in Scotland’s folk revival, forging a distinctive sound that blends dynamic percussion, emotive vocals, driving cittern, soaring, blues-tinged fiddle, and the unmistakable voice of the Great Highland bagpipes. Their music is deeply rooted in tradition, yet enriched by a broad spectrum of influences, always delivered with authenticity, sensitivity, and power.
Like many pioneering folk bands, the Old Blind Dogs lineup has evolved over the years, yet the band’s core musical identity remains as strong as ever. Today’s lineup features original member Jonny Hardie (fiddle, vocals), alongside Aaron Jones (cittern, guitar, vocals), Donald Hay (percussion, vocals), and the exceptional Mike Katz (bagpipes, whistles), formerly of the Battlefield Band.
Renowned for their electrifying live performances, Old Blind Dogs are widely regarded as one of the most exciting acts on the traditional Scottish music scene. Their shows are a vibrant celebration of rhythm, energy, and connection—captivating audiences around the world.
Inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame, the band continues to tour extensively across the UK, Europe, and North America, earning rave reviews and standing ovations. With their 35th anniversary on the horizon, Old Blind Dogs remain at the very top of their game—firing on all cylinders and bringing their joyous, uplifting sound to audiences old and new.
“With an affectionate yet playful attitude to tradition, Knucklehead Circus is a joyous, glorious, and thoroughly Scottish release.” ★★★★ Songlines
