Ferocious Dog

[Inconspicuous]

Anyone see them last year on the Avalon Stage? They were one of my highlights last year. 

Replied to my 'are you going to do glastonbury' question on Facebook with 'Maybe ;)'

They call themselves Celtic Punk and are great for a good jig. Were the first un-signed band to sell out Nottingham's Rock City I think. I think they will probably be on the Avalon again, seemed to suit the stage well.

Isn't one of carter usm something to with them. Got a few mates who are big fans (actually, yeah, one of them is Notts based). Not my bag, I'm afraid, but i can see the attraction. Think they'll be back, yeah.

Aye, Jim Bob joined them around last year. Good live band, up against Patti Smith last year in Avalon, also played Bimble Inn.

But... If Jim Bob's back, I'd preder Abdoujaporav (fair chance I've spelt that wrong).

Yup - not long after Sleafords became the first indie label act to sell it out as well

I saw them in Avalon right at the front - great show

hope they return.

Fruitbat not jim-bob?

I am a fool.

Ferocious Dog were brilliant! I saw them at the Bimble Inn on the Saturday evening, and on Avalon And yep, it's Les "Fruitbat" Carter in the band. 

I'm really hoping they'll play again, I missed them when they played my town on tour recently.

no you're not.   I didn't even know it was fruitbat so had to look at their website

[Pinhead]

saw them last year at Avalon - first time I saw them as every other opportunity up until then had been a clash with something else. Really impressed and would definitely go along again.

[spg]

Yeah sure they'll be back, was a great gig in Avalon as was the rock city one in November.

It was a Brilliant gig, love Mad Dog Mcrea too

[stuwilky]

One of my favourite bands at the minute, looking forward to a few more gigs this Spring too - starting in Warsop in 4 weeks :-)

I wish their fans would keep their clothes on. All that bare-chested male bonding/machismo thing is most off-putting.

Quality band! Gave me a massive surprise at Beautiful Days a couple of years ago when I turned up to just to see what Ferocious Dog were like. Had admittedly never heard of them, was a great show.

I'll also be catching them at Warsop next month along with Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs at Dogfest. Yes, they'll be back this year...my  son is a mate of Dan's.

Both Mad and Ferocious Dogs are excellent.

I think thats a given along with Beans on Toast, Hobo Jones, etc who are resident bands!

[Winslow Leach]

Missed them for Patti Smith last year so i'd be glad to see them back.

Good news - cant go to Dogfest on Saturday now due to a bereavement so booked for Barnsley and Burnley instead!

[Dukeicon]

Ferocious Dog playing Leftfield on the Saturday. Great spot for them, very fitting. Looking forward to it already!
