THEY’VE been described as the new Everly Brothers but with a celtic flavour. Between them, Scotland’s MacDonald Brothers sing, play guitar, accordian, piano and fiddle, and they’re in Manly to perform.
The number one-placed group in the 2006 Scottish X-Factor landed here at the beginning of the week and have been doing promotional radio and television appearances.

``This is hotter than anything I’ve ever experienced in Scotland,’’ Craig MacDonald said, looking at the sun over Manly on Monday.
Their first gig on southern hemisphere soil is on Sunday as part of the Highland Gathering at Manly Oval.
While those who are, or would-love-to-be, Scottish will gather at Manly Oval for the festivities, the MacDonald Brothers will appear, armed with a tartan guitar.
The pair will be doing a 30-minute set from noon on Sunday.
Craig and his brother Brian are huge in Scotland but are enjoying their visit to Australia, where they can get a ``wee bit of peace’’.
Craig said their meteoric rise had been amazing.
``We just love it, we love performing and going on tour,’’ Brian said.
His brother agreed: ``If we didn’t enjoy it we wouldn’t do it.’’
``When we learned we were coming here six months ago it didn’t seem real. Only about a week ago did it begin to feel real. I can’t believe we’ve brought our music to the other side of the world.’’
Their self-titled Australian release features 14 tracks, a mix of their first three albums, including the song Runaway which was written specifically for them by Sir Elton John.
Highland Gathering organiser Vicky Lindsay said she was asked by the MacDonald Brothers’ management if they could perform at the gathering and she agreed. ``And then I found out how big they were in Scotland,’’ she said.
About the gathering, Ms Lindsay said: ``It keeps getting bigger. This year we’re introducing a highland dancing competition.’’
At the Highland Gathering there will be more pipe band teams competing than its previous years.
The Manly Warringah Pipe Band is riding on a high after relative success in an international competition in Glasgow, Scotland.
The 44-member squad was one of the few international bands invited to play in the city’s George’s Square.
``We made the top 16 in the world during the world titles, which we’re pretty pleased with,’’ Ms Lindsay said.
In fact, the Manly Warringah group was given a write-up in the Scottish press, applauding it for playing the traditional pipe music from which local groups had dropped, in favour of more complex, symphonic pieces.
