Éamonn, who lives in Edinburgh but originally from Ireland (Dublin), learnt his playing from a variety of sources.

These include organising events associated purely with the banjo, most recently at Celtic Connections 2001 and Shetland 2001 (e.g. Banjo Extravaganza). |

Russell Hunter grew up in the North East of Scotland. Coming from a musical family, he was surrounded by traditional music from an early age, and had already made a couple of television appearances by the age of twelve. The fact that he is equally at home on fiddle or piano, makes Russell one of the most sought after accompanists on the Scottish scene. |
