The Old Blind Dogs' harmony-rich, dynamically rhythmic music has long been one of the most arrestingly distinctive sounds on the Scottish folk scene.

Named as Band of the Year at the 2004 Scots Trad Music Awards, the Dogs released their tenth album, Four on the Floor, in summer 2007, showcasing the current line-up of Jonny Hardie (fiddle, mandolin, guitar, vocals), Rory Campbell (pipes, whistles, vocals), Aaron Jones (bass, bouzouki, vocals) and Fraser Stone (percussion).

Roscommon-born Alan Kelly is Ireland's foremost exponent of the piano accordion, whose vibrant, sophisticated playing has been heard on two solo albums to date, and on an acclaimed duo recording, Fourmilehouse, with his flautist brother John. The quartet is completed by Donncha Moynihan (guitar) and Tola Custy (fiddle).
