Future Dub from Ancient Scotland

Formed in 2020, An Dannsa Dub (led by Tom Spirals and Euan McLaughlin) have been making waves. Twice nominated for Live Act of the Year at the Scots Trad Awards as well as the '23 SAMAs, the band has garnered critical acclaim for their ability to seamlessly blend the mystical sounds of Gaelic song and traditional Scottish instruments with the pulsating rhythms and deep basslines of digital dub.

An Dannsa Dub have electrified crowds across the UK festival circuit and beyond, including Glastonbury Festival, Celtic Connections, Dubcamp (France), and Goa Sunsplash (India). Their distinctive sound, fuelled by top-tier musicians, continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Following the success of their self-titled EP ('21), which received airplay on BBC from Don Letts, Craig Charles, Tom Robinson and more, their debut album 'Air An Turas' ('23) further solidified their global presence. The album's unique collaborations with artists like Cian Finn and Lana Pheutan earned critical acclaim, rave reviews, plays across the BBC and led to extensive tour dates.

2025's 'Through The Storm' marks a major evolution for An Dannsa Dub, boasting stellar coproduction from the don, GAUDI and mixed by dubmaster Paolo Baldini Dubfiles, along with an array of exciting guest features, including Junior Dread, Lewis McLaughlin, Josie Duncan, Horseman, corto.alto and Rachel Newton. With its diverse influences and boundary-pushing sound, Through The Storm promises to be a defining moment in the band's journey.

An Dannsa Dub continue to cement themselves in the international circuit with a constant stream of performances both as a full live band featuring Euan & Tom alongside Ben Burnside (Drums), Nicky Kirk (Guitar), Maxi Roots (Bass) and often Josie Duncan (Vocals), and as a Live Dub Show featuring just Euan & Tom live dub mixing plus live fiddle, flute and vocals.
