When Runrig played Top Of The Pops alongside Diana Ross they were told not to make eye contact with or even look at the soul diva… so they had a dressing room wall-banging argy-bargy with rock bad boys Oasis instead.
“Oasis had the dressing room next door to us and they were playing a mix of Roll With It on repeat all the time, all throughout the afternoon and evening, to the point we were just fed up with it”, said Rory Macdonald, founder member of the iconic Scottish band, as was his brother Calum.
Runrig
Runrig are a Scottish Celtic rock group formed in Skye, in 1973 under the name The Run Rig Dance Band . Since its inception, the band s line-up has included songwriters Rory Macdonald and Calum Macdonald. The current line-up also includes longtime members Malcolm Jones, Iain Bayne, and more recently, Bruce Guthro, and Brian Hurren. To date, the band has released fourteen studio albums, with a number of their songs sung in Scottish Gaelic.
Initially formed as a three-piece dance band, which played wedding receptions, the trio s first performance took place at Kelvin Hall, in Glasgow.
Runrig s music is often described as a blend of folk and rock music, with the band s lyrics often focusing upon locations, history, politics and people that are unique to Scotland. Songs also make references to agriculture and land conservation.
