From Neil Gow to Dougie McLean, from the Bothy Band to the Waterboys, Aff the Cuff take an eclectic view of the music they play.
From an original loose-knit outfit called Shoot the Craw formed in 1988, Aff The Cuff came together as the session grew in size. The name was chosen when the musicians started doing gigs in and around Dundee.
Aff The Cuff were in the Almondbank Hotel most Wednesday nights throughout the year but with the hotel being sold moved on to the Carlogie House Hotel, to the north of the town, followed by their regular coterie of ne'er-do-wells and hussies. They are now resident every Wednesday night in the Aboukir Hotel in Carnoustie.
Every now and then, you can catch us playing the Murray's, the world-famous Dundee pub.
