CREATING their own take on traditional Celtic folk, Ferocious Dog take the traditional instruments and mix them up with a bit of raw rock n' roll attitude.

With their unique, aggressive yet feel-good music they tear up venues across the country often bringing their faithful Hell Hounds along for the ride.

For many years Ferocious Dog have appeared at small venues and pubs, until in 2009 where the band were given the opportunity to play at Bearded Theory Festival.

They went down a storm, were asked to return the following years and ultimately played the main stage in 2012 where their popularity grew tenfold.

After this opportunity, gig and festival offers from all over the county starting coming in thick and fast, and on the back of an eponymous album, Ferocious Dog are playing and headlining festivals across the country.

Their new guitarist is Les Carter of the Unstoppable Sex Machine fame.

They made history this year by become the only unsigned act to ever sell out the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham twice.

Ferocious Dog are playing Victoria Hall, Settle, on June 20.
