Meet the team – Dougie Edwards
Shinty players, flame-throwers, sidecar racing champions… timber isn’t the only talent of the Russwood team. We even have a rock star in our midst. Read on to find out more about Yard Operative and part-time bass guitarist, Dougie Edwards.
It hasn’t always been timber and forklifts for Dougie; a talented musician, Dougie graduated with a degree in Popular Music from Napier University before joining Inverness band Jyrojets as bass guitarist. Upon forming, the band apparently spent a month rehearsing before recording their first demo, which secured them a gig at King Tuts Wah Wah Hut and airplay on Radio 1. The Jyrojets played various festivals and toured Europe and the USA.

Not a lot of people know this about me…
“I play bass guitar in a wedding band at weekends (The Anne Dickson Band) I also used to play in Jyrojets”
