In 2004 we produced our first album, accompanied by our daughter Olivia. It's crammed with original songs plus a few old favourites and several sets of tunes. Our aim was to produce a CD full of fun and zip and we think we've succeeded - we hope you'll agree. The North East's quarterly folk magazine "Folk Roundabout" gave the album a very positive review which included :

...Although the Rennies were only introduced to folk music in 1995, they've readily absorbed the idioms and performance styles of traditional music and song... ...I think Dogwatch have a lot to offer - not least, much interesting and original material, presented with commitment and flair. Their CD's a winner - its recording quality is very good indeed, with a creditable perspective and balance between the participants, both vocally and instrumentally...

We were very happy with our first album so when, in 2006, our good friends, Barrie and Ingrid Temple, invited us to do some recording at their studio, we jumped at the chance. The resulting album comprises fifteen new songs; wonderful poetry on a wide variety of themes, set to music by Joy.

You can hear "snipped" tracks from both CDs on the "Sound Bites" page and, if you'd like to buy a copy, why not e.mail us via the link on the "How Much?" page. The price of a CD is £10 and we're so keen to spread our songs around, we'll even pay the postage!!
