Dave Gilfillan

Lead Singer, guitar, banjo, mandola and founding member of North Sea Gas. Being a professional musician for the last seventeen years, Dave has built up a reputation for rousing sing along vocals and big heartfelt ballads, add to that a sense of on stage fun and tongue in cheek humor and you can easily see why his brand of folk music has taken him all over the world.

Cameron "Cammy" Gaskell

Ronnie "Mac" MacDonald

Ronnie "Mac" Macdonald was a member of the gas 18 years ago. He returned to Scotland only recently after having spent 15 years in Australia where he had is own band and, judging by the guestbook, left behind a great number of female fans.

North Sea Gas are Dave Gilfillan, Ronnie MacDonald, and Cameron Gaskell. On occasions within Scotland, North Sea Gas are augmented by the wonderful talents of Gerry McKenna.

North Sea Gas has now been performing for over two successful decades during which time they have enjoyed great acclaim for their high standards of professionalism.

With the combination of instruments including guitars, mandolin, bodhrans, banjos, whistles, mandolas, mouth organs complementing fine vocals, harmonies and a keen sense of humor an entertaining evening is guaranteed. Their interesting and varied career includes live performances in a variety of venues from compact hotel lounges to National theatres as well as private functions, oil rigs, folk clubs and open air concerts.

Over the years their exciting blend of Scottish and Irish music has appealed to audiences all over Great Britain, Europe, Scandinavia and the U.S.A. In 1992 they headlined the Hunter Moutain Celtic Festival in New York State and in the same year toured Australia for the first time. For nine consecutive years North Sea Gas has attracted large audiences to concerts held during the Edinburgh Festival.

In 1993 the band collected a Silver Disc award from the Scottish Music Industry for their album "Caledonian Connection". This was followed in 1994 with a Silver Disc for their album "Keltic Heritage" and in 1995 "Live from Edinburgh" made it three in a row. 1996 has seen their album "Scottish Destiny" attain yet another Silver Disc Award. In spring 2000 their album "Spirit of Scotland" was released, the band's tenth album in total.
