The West Country's Premier 50s & 60s Rock & Pop Band
We live together in the Old Dogz retirement home, reminiscing of the 50s and 60s. Matron is very strict, but does allow her 'boyz' out to play gigs from time to time. We first got together at a swinging 60s show on Broadway* in 1997. The show was a storming success. Graham and Dave played a Cliff tribute act, Jerry (who joined the Dogz soon after) played in the orchestra pit band and Phil was in the audience! So the band was entirely born from the show. Jon joined in 2005. We are all enthusiastic musicians and we love what we do. We play at weddings, parties, dances, corporate functions, charity balls, beer festivals and open-air public events. We are based in Somerset and, with Matron's permission, we travel the length and breadth of the country to entertain. |

29.7.09: Matron has allowed us out to record a long overdue album! The Album, Almost Live, has 12 tracks and the choice of music reflects the range that we play. The approach we took was to record ourselves much as we play on stage, to recreate the authentic live Old Dogz sound. The CD is now available. Click here for details.
