The Old Blind Dogs Thursday night kicked off a weekend that will feature Tom Rush (Saturday night), and Beausoleil, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Hotclub of Cowtown and more (the free Narrows Festival of the Arts on Sunday).The Dogs--who last played the Narrows about 3 years ago--performed their high energy Scottish folk music to an enthusiastic crowd of fans.
One highlight from their last visit was their purchase of a bass guitar hanging on the wall of a liquor store across from where they were staying in Somerset, MA. Since they had forgotten to bring a bass to the states, they bought the instrument (for $40)--later raffling it off and donating the money to charity. From then on they have been raffling off one of their instruments at the end of a tour. This time they are raffling off a guitar.
Last we checked there were just a handful of Tom Rush tickets available. And, of course, this Sunday is free.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for all our work and that of the other volunteers. I've been listening to this replay of the Old Blind Dogs concert and it's just wonderful to listen to. My wife was unable to be there for this concert and is very greatful for the archival access. Hope that WMVY can continue to maintain these archives. I replay a number of them just because they are personally memorable as well as well recorded. Keep up the good work!!!
Best to ALL!!! See you soon!!!
