Platinum celebration for MacDonald Brothers

Oct 31 2007 Ayrshire Post

THE MacDonald Brothers will celebrate their first album going platinum – by taking a HOLIDAY.

Craig and Brian wrapped up their Scottish tour in Ayr at the weekend with the news that their debut release had achieved the coveted status.

And now the boys will take a well earned break after a solid year of work following their success on the X Factor.

Craig revealed: “It will be great to have a few days off and actually relax for a change because it feels like we haven’t stopped since last year.

“The first album going platinum is amazing news and tops off a great 12 months for us.

“We never imagined in our wildest dreams that it would go so well and we’re really thankful to the fans for proving there’s a life after the X Factor.”

The boys played two sell-out gigs at the Gaiety as their nationwide tour came to a close on home soil.

But it wasn’t without drama as Brian endured a last-minute hospital dash to make the first show on Friday.

He admitted: “It was pretty worrying at one stage. My nose had been bleeding all day so I was at the hospital less than an hour before show time trying to get it sorted.

“Then it started bleeding again a couple of songs into the gig, but thankfully it stopped and I was able to start enjoying myself!”

The lads will now take their short break before sitting down with management to discuss a new deal.
