Louis said “I liked harmonies, pity you were unprepared”. Sharon said “you sing well together, you made the Beach Boys sound Scottish”. Simon said “first song was ok, sound better with retro songs. Potential but unprepared, but I’ll give you a second chance”.• On their first day of Bootcamp they sang ‘Saw Her Standing There’ by The Beatles and ‘To Love Somebody’ by The Bee Gees. Louis said “Awful dancing… but I like their voices.”• On the second day of Bootcamp they sang ‘Take Your Mamma’ by the Scissor Sisters.• Their Judges House song was ‘All I Have To Do Is Dream’ by The Everley Brothers.History• Craig and Brian live with their mum and dad and have a half brother from their dad’s previous relationship.• The MacDonald Brothers have been seriously singing together for 3 years at weddings, clubs and occasionally doing backing vocals.• Craig and Brian have been singing and playing the accordion and the fiddle together ever since they were children.• The duo first realised that singing was their dream after performing at a school talent contest in a band called ‘Cobra’ which was a Queen tribute band.• One of their biggest performances as The MacDonald Brothers was in front of Hugh Grant at the Ceilidh Dance.

Influences: “Our Dad used to play in a band. He is one of our biggest influences, teaching us how to sing, how to perform and how to entertain people. He’s a good guitarist but our Mum isn’t musical at all.”The boys share similar musical influences. Craig says that it was Freddie Mercury who inspired them to pursue music. “We were in Majorca when I was about 15 and we heard a Queen tribute band and hearing that got me excited about singing. I’d never really done much before that but from then on I sat at a computer recording my voice and listening to it back, trying to improve it.”Brian says that his influences include Eric Clapton, Phil Collins and Metallica. Craig adds Elton John, George Michael, Muse and the Scissor Sisters. His favourite single is Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and Brian’s is ‘By The Way’ by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers. They’d both sing ‘We Are The Champions’ by Queen to wow the Judges.
