Key members include: Rory Macdonald - bass and vocals, Bruce Guthro - lead vocals and guitar, Malcolm Jones - guitars, pipes and accordian, Calum Macdonald - percussion, Iain Bayne - drums and Brian Hurren - keyboards.
Key co-founder Donnie Munro left in the late 90s to persue a career in Scottish politics.
