Ruaridh Braes

I am Ruaridh, North Pole Radio's Bass player. I only officialy became a member of the band in November/December 1999, But I've known the rest of the lads for about a year or so - it was sort of a friend of a friend thing.

I helped the previouse incarnation of North Pole Radio with a demo they were making back in March 1999. When Iain - erstwhile vocalist/guitarist - left the band they re-shuffeled themselves a bit; Calum was playing guitar and bass - OK when your recording but a tad tricky at a gig. So I stepped in and hey, the rest is history - well it soon will be.

As you might be able to work out from the picture, I work for Motorola in Bathgate where I'm a machine minder. I look after the machines that place the tiny components onto the PCBs which in turn go on to be made into mobile phones - frankly I'd rather be a bassist.

A wee update: I am currently between jobs. But I've set up an interview at a local jam factory - how rock 'n' roll would that be? I get to make jam all day and then I come home and jam with the lads - all day every day jamming - superb.

... Time passes...

I've had several tempory jobs since then. I'm currently working in a whisky bottling plant just outside Edinburgh - which is nice.
