Raymond (Ray) Shulman (December 8, 1949 – March 30, 2023) was a British musician and record producer who was a co-founder of the progressive rock band Gentle Giant with his brothers Derek and Phil. Shulman also worked as record producer in the late 1980s and early 1990s for alternative rock artists such as The Sundays and The Sugarcubes.

During Shulman's recording days in the band as a bass guitarist, his virtuosity often compared to popular players such as Yes's Chris Squire. Shulman was quite adept at other instruments as well, sometimes doubling on violin, recorder, trumpet, acoustic and electric guitars. Shulman and keyboardist-bandmate Kerry Minnear composed or co-wrote much of the music for Gentle Giant.

Ian Bairnson (August 3, 1953-April 7, 2023 (aka as John Bairnson) was a Scottish musician, best known for being one of the core members of The Alan Parsons Project. He was a multi-instrumentalist, who has played saxophone and keyboards, although he was best known as a guitarist.

He was a session guitarist before joining up in 1973 with former Bay City Rollers musicians David Paton and Billy Lyall in the band Pilot and contributed the harmony guitar parts to their hit single, "Magic."

During this time with Pilot, he first collaborated with Alan Parsons, the record producer on their debut self-titled album It was this relationship that helped incorporate most of the band's members (bassist/lead singer Paton and drummer Stuart Tosh) into the Alan Parsons Project. He played the distinctive guitar solo on the track "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You" from Parsons' I Robot (1977) album. As a guitarist, he has been featured on every Alan Parsons Project album, including the 1984 side project Keats.

He played on Kate Bush's first four albums The Kick Inside (1978) (notably playing the guitar solo on "Wuthering Heights"), Lionheart (1978), Never for Ever (1980) and The Dreaming (1982).
