Bob Blair is a singer especially noted for his interpretation of Scottish lyrical songs and traditional ballads. He plays concertina and guitar, but generally prefers the beauty of unaccompanied singing. He has a deep understanding of traditional singing styles and has lectured widely at Universities, Colleges and workshops at numerous festivals. He is without doubt one of Scotland's finest traditional singers. Bob's repertoire is wide, often including relatively unknown versions of traditional songs.

Ray Fisher is one of Scotland's leading singers of the folk song revival and has been at the forefront of traditional singing since the early 1960's. Her songs have been gleaned form many traditional sources, especially from direct contact with the singing of Jeannie Robertson, who is generally regarded as the richest source of traditional Scottish song. Ray accompanies herself on guitar but often sings the songs and ballads a capella.
