Calum Martin is best known for his Psalm singing but has been most recently involved in recording a the Megantic Outlaw, a CD of songs based on the true story of Donald Morrison, born in Quebec in 1858 to Hebridean parents and forced into outlawry by deceit and injustice.

Multi-instrumentalist, Malcolm Jones is well known for his work with Runrig, but also plays with Scottish Harmonica player Donald Black and the Occasionals Dance Band. He is now becoming increasingly involved in the recording and production side of the music industry.
