Not your normal run of the mill singer
songwriter, Ruffdog Elliott has a sting in his
guitar strings that will knock a punch out of
the right of the political swing. His lyrics tell
the searing truth of the wrongs in society
and tell a story that is as honest as it is true.
Always right on the current button with an
often humorous lilt, he takes his influence
from singer song writers such as Billy Bragg,
Frank Turner and Bob Dylan, but with an
affiliation with the Punk movement that
coloured his early years. Current artists that
fire his belly with their powerful energy and
rebellious message are, Dublin Avant Gard
punk performer Meryl Streek, as well as
Bobbie Vylan and Dead Sheeran. If you ask
him where he’s performing, he says you’ll
find him playing at any gig that will have him
on the Dorset music scene. In truth he has
played across the country in venues from
pubs, festivals and football grounds to the
world famous Troubadour in London .
