Four Dogs Music brings you the best of traditional, contemporary and radical music. Also fair trade products, leather free footwear, DVDs, books and accessories.
Welcome to Four Dogs Music
Four Dogs Music was launched in November 2006.
We aim to stock as wide a range of music as finances will allow. Punk to classical, world music to rock, folk to ambient, mainstream to the positively obscure, and all points in between!
The one common quality running through all of the titles that we will be stocking, in our opinion, is just that; Quality.
Its music with substance, music that matters and that makes a difference. Whether this is from the sheer quality of the music itself, the political or social message contained within, or the stance of the performers themselves. When all of these things come together at the same time, then something very special happens.
We are also stocking fair trade products, sweat shop and leather free footwear, DVDs, books and accessories. So please take a moment to check these out.

The General Election
2 recently posted clips on You Tube give an interesting insight to the alternative view of political activism.
A splendid record of a meeting between Billy Bragg and the BNPs pathetic Richard Barnbrook, when the 2 met up while Billy was out campaigning for the Hope Not Hate organistion is recorded at:
and Four Dogs favourite Leon Rosselson gives an antidote to the posturing of platitudinous politicians pleading for your vote in:
Alistair Hulett
We were deeply, deeply saddened to hear of the death of the great Alistair Hulett on January 28th 2010, at the age of only 57.
Alistair was a singer/songwriter of rare talent who combined his love and knowledge of traditional music with his deep Socialist values to make some of the most impressive and uplifting music in this genre.
From the inception of Four Dogs Music Alistair was full of kind words and encouragement, and we were in turn very happy that he was one of the best selling artists on our site.
In a world of inequality and injustice, Alistair used his music to point the way to a better society; A world that will now be the poorer for his passing.
Our thoughts go out to his partner Fatima, his family and close friends. A phrase that Alistair used himself springs to mind; ‘Sleep well tender comrade'
Just in, not one but two new albums from Buddhist Nun Ani Choying Drolma one of the most popular artists on Four Dogs Music.
Just arrived from Nepal, both albums, Aama and Matakalaa, will be added to our site shortly.
As with all Ani’s CDs, proceeds will be going to her Nuns Welfare Foundation of Nepal.
