The Judges
The MacDonald Bros
The Scott‐pop duo of Craig (23) and Brian MacDonald (22) has taken the Scottish music scene by storm, since they burst into the public eye in 2006 as finalists in the monster British television show, X Factor.
In the ensuing two years, the MacDonald Bros have achieved spectacular success, with their first two albums, produced by former Bay City Roller Stuart “Woody” Wood, rocketing into the charts at number one and number two respectively. In fact, their self‐titled debut recording made pop history as the first album on a Scottish independent label to land at number one on the Scottish charts. *text from www.the macdonald bros.com
Nikitta Agnes
