Throughout their early teens Seán and Robyn performed at various Scottish clubs and festivals playing alongside many major acts such as Andy Irvine, The Emily Smith Band, Back of the Moon, Dick Gaughan, Old Blind Dogs, Shooglenifty and Craobh Rua to name but a few.
Both Seán and Robyn studied at The National Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music based at Plockton High School. In addition to studying traditional flute with Dougie Pincock, it was at Plockton Seán began to develop his dynamic style of guitar accompaniment under the tutelage of Jack Evans.
Seán is also a member of The Paul McKenna Band who on the back of their increasing popularity have recently signed to Greentrax, their first album due out in spring, 2009.
Prior to her time at Plockton Robyn studied a wide variety of fiddle styles with Alistair McCulloch of Ayr. During her time at the Centre of Excellence she developed a particular interest in the West Coast and Irish fiddle styles under the tutelage of Iain MacFarlane.
Singing was another of Robyn's studies at Plockton where her repertoire included traditional and contemporary Scots song. Her voice has been described as "smoky" and has a rare quality that can make any song her own.
