STEVE GWYN DAVIES has Welsh and Irish origins and was born in SW England. He studied music at Bristol Cathedral Choir School and York University (jazz, composition, world music, etc), where he transferred some of his saxophone techniques onto the recorder. Moving to the Isle of Skye, he studied Highland Bagpipes and Gaelic song, absorbing these into his whistle and recorder style. He also initiated the collection of Skye Gaelic song, "Orain an Eilein", published by Taigh na Teud in 2001.  

SABINE BARNES-RAUCH was born in Arnsberg, Germany, her parents being from Galizia, now part of the Ukraine. She studied music at Cologne University, specialising in recorder, and was a member of the Edinburgh Recorder Consort before moving to Skye.
