 As for the gig's Celtic Connections, aside from commonalities some researchers claim between West African and Gaelic music, it came from the support act, Old Blind Dogs. Now approaching their 20th year in the business, not only were they one of the first contemporary Scottish bands to incorporate African rhythms into traditional tunes, but they're currently raising funds for a music centre in Senegal. They made the packed Glasgow Royal Concert Hall feel like a folk club by holding a raffle - but not many folk clubs could raise more than a £1000 in one night, as was announced here after the winner claimed their djembe.
With their usual quartet supplemented by lap steel guitar and double bass, the Dogs turned in a stoater of a gig. Lead singer Aaron Jones was in magnificent voice, backed by his colleagues, while the fidlle/pipes chemistry between Jonny Hardie and new recruit Ali Hutton, fuelled by Fraser Stone's agile percussion, was positively sizzling.
