Donnie Munro/Donaidh Rothach (born August 2, 1953, in Uig, Isle of Skye) is a Scottish musician, and former lead singer of the band Runrig. A native speaker of Scottish Gaelic, much of his work is in that language. He attended Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen and did a postgraduate in teaching at Moray House in Edinburgh. He first saw Runrig play in 1973 and was approached one year later to become a member of the band. He later disagreed with his bandmates over several issues, including politics; Pete Wishart later became a Scottish National Party Member of Parliament.

The origin of the band is simple and clear, as clear as Jack Daniels drunk after midnight in a smoky practice room located in old post soviet bunkers overgrown by bushes somewhere in the heart of Masovia (Warsaw). The Supergroup is a mixture of friendship, love for jam sessions, unlimited creativity, rehearsals long into the night, with only one objective: music. Music shaped by the energy, the mood, the idea of the moment. Music which lets you escape from everything and everybody.

Accordionist, born in London in 1963, has played with many bands, including Swåp, May Monday, The Poozies, and the Kathryn Tickell Band. Tweed is established as one of the finest exponents of the piano accordion and is also in demand for her work as an arranger, composer and tutor. Her music, which moves with ease between blistering melody lines and soulful backing, has been described as 'mercurial, subtle and astounding'.

One of Irelands best box players. One time member of De Dannann and Niamh Parson's band, now working on his own career. Lively and masterful.
