Doon in the Wee Room - The Alexander Brothers

The Alexander Brothers are an easy-listening folk-music duo from Scotland, who have been performing since the 1950s. Tom Alexander (1934 - ) and Jack Alexander (1935- ) were born in Cambusnethan, near Wishaw. On leaving school in the early fifties, the brothers pursued a trade as painters and decorators by day, and entertainers by night, and spent most of their spare time performing for elderly people in hospitals and for various charitable institutions in and around their hometown. In the spring of 1958, they entered a talent contest which was held in their local cinema.
