Craig and Charlie Reid were born in Leith in 1962 and spent their formative years listening to early rock ‘n’ roll and country music.
The identical twins formed a punk band in 1983, which would eventually become the Proclaimers, and began building a dedicated fan base by playing gigs in Scottish towns and cities, including Edinburgh and Inverness.
