Dougie
Dougie "The Box" Hunter is the youngest member of the band.
He also used to sport the band's greatest asset - a large collection of ginger
hair, although for the bands recent trip to Lorient he 'went blonde'. Originally
from Musselburgh, he has become an established musician on the West coast of Scotland
where he currently lives and works (looking after some little fish). He is also
known further afield as a performer, composer and teacher of music at Fèisean.

Keith
Keith "Golden-Bow" Smith from Ardnamurchan is a man of many
talents - he plays classical and folk violin as well as bagpipes and viola; he
is also a keen instrument maker and plays one of his own fiddles on the new album.
He is in regular demand at home and abroad for concerts, recording and teaching
and has several other CDs to his name - most notably of Scottish Country Dance
music with the Muriel Johnstone Trio. Being the band Brains Keith could probably
take on every member of the A Team and come out on top. | 
Kenneth
Kenneth "MetroGnome" Knowles (drums and percussion) from
Musselburgh is Hoogie's secret weapon - you just won't be able to stop yourself
dancing to the beat! He's also the smallest member of the band, but makes up for
this by carrying around a huge drum-kit. If they can afford it, the rest of the
band are going to buy a drum-machine instead: that way, they'll only have to punch
in the information once. |

Kenn
Kenn "Captain C" Clark (guitar & vocals) from Edinburgh joined the
band in 1999 and features on the group's second CD. His guitar riffs have brought
a new energy to the band as well as a song or two. He is also currently working
on his own solo album. His trademark performances on stage and in the bar are
highly noteworthy - he is unable to contain either his enjoyment of the music
or himself.

Andy
Andy "The Rooster" Brewster (bass) is the most recent member to join
the band and has successfully toured with them in Scotland and France. He is no
stranger to funky folk, having played with Edinburgh based bands on electric bass,
mandolin, and mandola. He was also the champion crepe-eater of the band on their
recent tour to Brittany! We don't have a picture of him as a tiny wee laddie,
since he was apparently born 6 foot 3 inches tall. We do have a picture of him
recovering from a Hoogie tour with a cup of coffee. Cheers Andy!
