‘S e an sgrìobhadair / seinneadair Dòl Eoin MacFhionghain a stèidhich an còmhlan Potential Strangers. Scalpach a tha a-nis a' fuireach ann an Glaschu, nochd e an toiseach air Rapal nuair a rinn e fhèin 's a' chòmhlan session rèidio dhuinn an-uiridh. Tha na h-òrain aige an dà chuid ann am Beurla agus Gàidhlig, agus thoisich e a' sgrìobhadh nuair a bha e san àrd-sgoil, as dèidh dha giotàr fhaighinn. Nuair a ghluais e dhan oilthigh ann an Glaschu ghabh Dol Eoin barrachd ùidh ann a bhith a' sgrìobhadh òrain. Tha Dol Eoin tric a' coinneachadh ri luchd-ciùil eadar-dhealaichte ann an suidheachaidhean ùr, 's a' toirt cuireadh dhaibh a bhith a' cluich air na clàraidhean aige. 'S ann bhon sin a thàinig an t-ainm Potential Strangers.

Potential Strangers is the creation of the singer-songwriter Dol Eoin Mackinnon. Originally from Scalpay, Harris but now based in Glasgow, he first appeared on Rapal on BBC Radio nan Gaidheal last summer when himself and his band performed a live session. His lyrics are in both Gaelic and English and began writing as a teenager after being given a guitar shortly after beginning Secondary school but it was after moving to Glasgow to go to University that he began to take his song writing more seriously. He regularly gets to meet other musicians and often invites them to play on his songs. It is not unusual to find a group of musicians playing one of his songs after meeting for the very first time and this is how he came up with the name Potential Strangers.
