The Sutherland Brothers Band was the recording name of British brothers Gavin Sutherland (born 6 October 1951, Peterhead, Scotland), bassist / vocalist and Iain Sutherland (born 17 November 1948, Ellon, Aberdeenshire, Scotland), vocalist / guitarist / keyboards, for an album in 1972.
Probably best-known for the song "Sailing" (later a world-wide hit for Rod Stewart), the Sutherland Brothers began performing as a folk / rock duo in the early 1970s. From 1973 to 1978, following the lack of success of The Sutherland Brothers Band, the brothers joined with rock band Quiver to record and tour as Sutherland Brothers & Quiver. Under this combined moniker, the group recorded several albums and had a significant international hit single with the song "Arms of Mary" in 1976.
