	Scotsman.com News - Hogmanay - Take it as Reid, Craig and Charlie can party
		There was a wildly celebratory air surrounding this gig, and not just because it was the end of a long and arduous tour for the band - it seemed as though half the city had come to cheer on some of its favourite sons and drink the venue’s three bars dry.
		Craig Reid delighted in announcing that this show was being broadcast live via the world-wide web, but no marvel of modern technology could manage to convey the atmosphere within the Corn Exchange.
		There were moments when the show flagged, but Craig and Charlie always knew they had enough up their sleeves to slay any audience - there can be little to compare with 3000 folk bellowing "I can’t understand why we let someone else rule our land" during the band’s stirring rendition of Cap In Hand.

		Craig and Charlie and band are now on tour for the rest of this year and looking forward immensely to the shows.
		Craig and Charlie Reid took time out from song-writing sessions for their sixth album to pose with Holly and Khan in the camel enclosure to get a taste of what’s in store for trekkers who sign up for the once-in-a-lifetime desert adventure.
		Craig and Charlie Reid finished ten months of touring in April and are now writing for their sixth studio album with a view to being back on the road live from the summer of 2005.

		Charlie and Craig Reid, identical twins and leaders of the Edinburgh-based band the Proclaimers, celebrated their 42d birthday earlier this month.
		Charlie, who sings and plays guitar, muses about the aging process on the phone from Kingston, Ontario, on the verge of a North American tour: Does a musician improve over the years or does the fire die out?
		The Reids write everything together, with Craig writing the bulk of the chord progressions and melodies and both writing lyrics.

		Charlie could quite easily have got angry at another person having a dig at an image the band has long since abandonedbut he didn't.
		It was with a little rousing number entitled I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) that The Proclaimers rose from an obscure acoustic duo into superstars at the close of the '80s, then virtually vanishing for most of the '90s to play out lives of child bearing, divorce and the death of their father.
		It was not until 2001, eight years since Hit The Highway the band's massive crossover album in the US that Charlie and Craig Reid returned, with some trepidation, with their fourth album, Preserve.

	Gauntlet Buzz - Up-beat cynicism worth the wait
		The Nettwerk biography of The Proclaimers calls brothers Charlie and Craig Reid "uncompromising musicians," and the name is well deserved.
		While the title of their fourth album is optimistic and forward-reaching, the song lyrics lean to sometimes downright bitter tales of love, life and politics.
		Reid quite happily expounds on the song topics, launching into a diatribe on the comparative evils of the British Labour and Tory parties, which inspired the very "up" "Land Fit for Zeros." He also confirms, somewhat gleefully, that the Proclaimers will perform the quirky "Everybody's a Victim" on the upcoming US leg of the tour.

		Charlie appears in the dressing room in a short-sleeved shirt with creases sharp enough to slice a salami; Craig’s long-sleeved fl shirt has been similarly ironed into submission.

		The Jesus and Mary Chain's William and Jim Reid looked as off colour as their Glasgow skies, staying in their East Kilbride bedroom for years dreaming of the Velvet Underground and hooked on a surfeit of Jan and Dean and the Beach Boys.
		Veins bulging as they hollered in their malted Scottish accents, twins Charlie and Craig Reid could have been dismissed as a novelty act, a Caledonian Everly Brothers, on the evidence of Letter To America in 1987.

		While the band is still as low on hype and big on working-class profundity as was in the '80s, life's complexities have definitely changed the tone of the music over the years.
		Charlie and Craig Reid have collaborated as the Proclaimers since 1983, with Craig carrying more of the songwriting weight than guitarist Charlie.
		Now that Craig's and Charlie's kids are older, it's made touring a little easier, and the brothers are excited to get back on the road with a full band.

		Family may have kept the Reids away from the music industry, but it also gives the brothers a telepathic sixth sense about their music.

		Family and football meant that the Reid brothers were far from idle but with no album to promote, there were fears that the Proclaimers' fan base might have deserted them.
		Mary Stuart Masterson, the Hollywood star of Some Kind Of Wonderful and Fried Green Tomatoes, played the Proclaimers' hit I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) incessantly on the set of the her 1993 film Benny and Joon, in which she co-starred with Johnny Depp.
		Two decades ago, when they stubbornly refused to manipulate their image for the marketing men, the Reid brothers vowed they would be judged purely on their music and their music has outlived many of their contemporaries.

		Released in 1988, "Sunshine on Leith" was the second album released by brothers Charlie and Craig Reid, otherwise known as the Proclaimers, a family singing/songwriting duo from Scotland.
		Fortunately, my money was not wasted for I quickly learned just how enjoyable the Reid brothers could be singing an entire, 12- track CD in their own, inimitatable way.
		Charlie and Craig Reid might look like a couple of hopeless nerds, but they know how to make some fun, catchy, and thoughtful music with simple instrumentation and their heavy Scottish accents.

		Charlie and Craig Reid don't exactly harmonize like traditional sibling vocal partners.
		The songs aren't outsize, but they contain genuine emotions -- the need to believe a broken romance was once true, the differing expectations of new parents for their offspring, the awareness of love in its middle-aged richness.
		Here, the melodies are sweet and the vocal interjections quieter, but the Reid brothers still push each other to the top of their respective games.

		The ProclaimersLeith is the port adjacent to the city of Edinburgh where the Reid twins were born and signed on the dole after leaving school.
		This sets the tone for another uncompromisingly Scottish collection of American-derived folk-rock where domestic political issues and passing references to Hibernian FC sit side by side with tributes to Elvis Presley and the whine of the country guitar and sound as if they were the most natural pairing on earth.
		The second album from Craig and Charlie Reid saw them expanding to band size and being, from time to time, somewhat louder.

		IT was hot, perhaps too hotas Charlie and Craig Reid relaxed by the pool in Perth (Australia not Tayside) before appearing in front of thousands of people at the World Cup Rugby Festival Closing Party on the Lawn at Arena Joondalup.
		Unsure how they would be received after the seven-year hiatus, Craig and Charlie's stars have just risen higher and higher and with their new album Born Innocent receiving great reviews they really couldn’t be happier with life at the moment.
		With a bucketful of classic songs to fall back on, it would be easy for Charlie and Craig to play a greatest-hits set, especially at sellout festive gigs like the Caird Hall and Barrowlands, but fans can expect to hear a fair sprinkling of their new stuff as well.

		In many ways the Proclaimers would be perfect openers, not just because of their rabble-rousing anthems, but because Charlie and Craig Reid have a long history of calling for political change through their songs, ever since their breakthrough single 'Letter from America' stormed the charts in 1987.
		This concert at Murrayfield is part of a series of events around the world put together to raise awareness of the plight of the world's poorest people, and to put pressure on the G8 leaders at their summit in Gleneagles.
		That's not to say Reid had a problem with the Band Aid and Live Aid projects of the 80s - far from it.

		As Craig, or possibly Charlie, Reid once said when I put it to them that their works were not noteworthy for stylistic innovation, "nobody else does what we do".
		Charlie, or possibly Craig, was right - few are the songwriters as briskly honest, fewer still the singers who harmonise so beautifully (the brothers Reid merit comparison with any of the brothers Louvin, Righteous or Everly).
		But what he really meant was that the Proclaimers' unique selling point is the accents: the porridge-thick Edinburgh brogues in which the Reids have obstinately insisted on singing.
