  • Ian was fantastic!----great phrasing , like Archie Fisher---but better!

  • Love this song> Saw the Old Blind Dogs at the Orkney Folk Festival.

    They were great.

  • I'm not Scottish, but I absolutely adore Scottish music. This song is one of my favorites!

  • The core of the Dog's Sound, Funky drum offbeats that still preserve an earthy sound from the use of hand drums, a solid Bass, and a new swing to an old song.

  • barnyard's of delgaty

  • Ehy guys someone can tell me the name of this song?? thanks, it's great!!

  • this vocalist got real charisma! love it

  • what I wouldn't give to be in a dancing room with this band keeping everybody MOVIN'!!

  • The best lineup of OBD! I am so glad to have seen this lineup a few times!

  • I just have to know the name of this song. Anyone know it?

  • The Barnyards Of Delgaty.. The 'Of' could be replaced by o'.

    Cracking tune. Impossible not to dance to - no matter how badly!

  • Thanks. Beside OBDs version, I have now heard about 5 other versions. Great song and the OBDs is the best one out there

  • No problem, I believe Ian Benzie was the singer on this version which was recorded at The Lemon Tree in Aberdeen, though I'm open to being corrected.

    I'm a Lowlander which is why I didn't pick up on the pronunciation/spelling, that's my excuse!

    To me, this is the definitive version.

  • aye its Ian Benzie, he's a relative :) so im clued in

  • Well if you know him, tell him he is sorely missed! It would be wonderful if he recorded another cd!

  • if i ever see him, i will tell him :)

  • LordEngelbert...Thanks - wasn't 100% sure.

  • Sorry kanue4, It's Barnyards Of/0 Dalgety (not Delgaty). It's a North East of Scotland song.

  • love the white violin

  • Super ! J'aime ! :)

  • absolument genial j adore la voix de jonny dommage que nous les nortmens n avons pas su gardé notre culture comme vous mais c est pas grave la votre compte pour deux ! de la part d un normand

  • Watching thisbrought a smileto my face. I saw the newest line up of Old Blind dogs in Ullapool recently and they were good, I danced all the way through, but I miss the old line up, great sound and really nice guys. Thanks.

  • good to see dod copeland dancin there at the front.

    Ony Toxik Ephex on youtube?

  • Except I do believe you should tag this "IAN BENZIE", as that's him singing. He's no longer with the group.

  • Are you from Aberdeen?

  • I wish! No, I'm from New York. The closets I've gotten to Scotland is three trips, and a friend who lives in Fife.

    Ian's voice makes my heart melt and my knees weak. I discovered him on a Celtic compilation cd from Putumayo (world music label), I think. He sang "Banks o' Fordie/Babylon" and I was gobsmacked. It's still my favorite Ian song.

    I have been lucky enough to see the new line-up, and to attend a house concert with Jim Malcolm.

  • I agree. I was at this gig, i think. Top fun, good old dogs.

  • I do believe that man is my Grandad's brother

  • Yes, that's Ian singing, but the band playing music in the video is Old Blind Dogs. Whether he's with them or not anymore makes no difference. At this time, he was.

  • @Br2veHe2rt Ian Is sorely missed! By me for one 8-(

  • Gorgeous. The Old Blind Dogs manage to be mellow without putting you to sleep.

  • What is the name of this song? I love it

  • the barnyards o delgaty

  • Amazing Celtic Band, listening for years, they are ver under rated, great tribal drum sound

  • Och those great days of the Dogs in Aberdeen! Sounds great and brings back lots of student day memories...

  • A cracking song and a brilliant band. And what can I say about that dancing? Not much!

  • WOW!!! I have never seen the band with these members and have always wanted to. THANK YOU for sharing this. Old Blind Dogs is also one of my favorites. :)

  • Awesome!!! One of my all time favorite bands. Thanks for uploading.
