About
The MacDonald Bros shot to fame on ITV's "The X Factor" finishing fourth the year Leona Lewis won.
The MacDonald Bros are a two piece duo providing a high impact visual and sounding self contained show. They are multi talented musicians and vocalists playing guitars, piano, harmonica, and are also award winning Celtic musicians on their accordion and fiddles. All this is supported by their high quality custom recorded backing tracks. Their music is a mix of Celtic flavoured famous covers from their platinum and gold selling Scottish albums as well as a mix of their own original songs. Their music act is one of the most versatile around and is enhanced in some shows by backdrop moving visuals.
They have been learning music since the ages of 5 and 6, and have been performing in front of audiences for over a decade. Starting out as young teenagers playing at weddings and clubs they rose to their peak of fame on ITV's 'The X-Factor' reaching 4th place the year Leona Lewis won. Since then they have had amazing success playing to crowds in the tens of thousands at various events and venues such as Cardiff's Millenium Stadium and London's O2 arena. They toured the whole of the UK as the sole support act with Irish Superstars WESTLIFE, have had 3 top ten albums in Scotland one of which achieved Platinum status and another Gold, were given an unreleased song by Sir Elton John to record for their album. They have also had 3 of their own headlining tours in Scotland and are recently just back from Australia promoting their debut album in Australasia through SONY BMG. We are able to take a number of bookings for the lads between their recording, touring, and overseas commitments so please contact now for availability.
Standard Package:
The MacDonald Bros can perform a set of up to 90mins with some of the more famous songs from their various albums (ie 500 Miles and Shang-a-lang) and also many other songs from modern day to yesteryear. A lot of people may not know that the MacDonald Bros were themselves a full time Wedding band before their success in the X factor so have great experience and have played literally hundreds of private functions prior to the show.
If you have any special requests like first dances, please let them know and they will be more than happy to work on making your night that little bit extra special.
There is a high quality DJ available to accompany the lads included as part of this package. Please state whether you require this at the time of booking or if you wish to arrange your own entertainment separate for after the lads' set.
