I think many times when you get used to one singer it is hard to accept another different singer. Many bands throughout history have done is - some successfully, some not so much (Genesis, Lynyrd Skynyrd, AC/DC, Van Halen are a few successful ones). And successful doesn't mean that they didn't loose some fans. Lost some, gained some.

Have to admit, Runrig for me is with Donnie.

But, give this Bruce Guthro guy some credit, new influences, an established singer in his own right and WHAT a voice!! WOW...

A prefer donnie for the way his voice sounded through all the songs. Bruce is damned good, but to me .. Donnie Rocks !

[RunrigFan]

that's your opinion, but hadn't bruce came on board, Runrig wouldn't keep selling out gigs, have a number 1 album, and top 10 single :)

One usually does not expect such a cosmopolitan song from the Scots.

@AbzWayne so true so absolutely true :) So Runrig Donnie and Bruce gu brath :)

Donnie was great is great but Bruce is great and will continue to be great. whoever replaces who the pride u feel as a Scotsman when you hear these songs is overwhelming at times.

Don't really like the "Andrews lion"-combo thingy, show them separately!

with or without bruce or donnie an awesomoe band either way one of them had something special i love runrig i thank my dad and older brother for there influence to such a great band

[Rachellelawley]

And even Rory says if it was't for Bruce there would be no Runrig, we should be very thankful that such a talented singer joined them and carries on the legacy.

I love Bruce and Donnie, i grew up with Donnie Runrig, hearing it playing in the car or at home, and i made my own choice to like Bruce as i got older.

Runrig were much better with Donnie
