I have added a reference to Chris Harley's engagement as producer from Heartland onwards. Harley not only improved the sound of their recordings but also assisted the band's management through his contacts in the business. This was the point when Runrig began to move up from being essentially a local band to being a national act.Archie Meadies 05:35, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bias

I feel this article has a strong bias to the old Runrig rather than the new Runrig. The author seems to think times were better under Donnie Munro and even says "he had a succesful solo career" which is not really true. Was this article written by Donnie Munro? It also doesn't reall talk about the extensive support Runrig have in Norway, Denmark and Germany (I think they were number one in Denmark sometime this year?). Runrig are a great band and this article doesnt really show them in the best light.--86.1.197.96 09:15, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Runrig being 'a great band' is your opinion not a fact. The article is fine. 79.72.135.72 11:43, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inner Hebrides

Donnie Munro may be from Skye, but the MacDonald brothers are from Uist, which is in the Outer Hebrides. --MacRusgail 18:12, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Loch Ness show

The show at loch ness is actually a music festival - runrig headlining, though. I know because I live opposite the field it is in, and am going... --03crichardson 19:40, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Who cares, Runrig are rubbish anyway! 79.72.245.77 11:25, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Loch Ness

Regardless of your personal opinion, posting it on a wikipedia page is akin to bias. This is supposed to be a neutral view. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daibhidh708 (talk • contribs) 02:12, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

It's funny how it took someone nominating this article for deletion for some editors to actually add something useful here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.191.105 (talk) 09:46, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
