(and they do halve the average age of the band!)

   About Duncan McFarlane Band

The Duncan McFarlane Band (electric)
The world can always use more good English folk-rock and this is loud, fast music, based on the rhythms of English country dance music with sharp-edged electric guitar leads, electric fiddle, and gutsy, gritty singing.
Essentially solid, energetic English electric folk, full of pumping riffs and loads of energy. Its nice to find a folk-rock band that understands both folk AND rock and knows how to draw on one without diluting the other.
'Robust folk-rock - reels, jigs and stout songs, well-executed and infectiously lively.'
(these quotes from fRoots; Yorkshire Evening Post; Dirty Linen(USA); Shreds & Patches; Tykes News; Stirrings)

Duncan McFarlane (solo)
Classy English Folk Guitar, eminently listenable vocals and great songs, both traditional and contemporary. (Mike Raven)
Duncan's a punchy guitarist in the 'English folk' style and offers a set about equally split between his own songs, other people's and traditional. (fRoots)
Stylistically, Duncan's guitar technique falls very much within the Carthy/Nic Jones school, with a strong rhythmic impetus that's infectious in the extreme. His singing has real character too. (Traditional Music Maker)

Duncan has a 'solo' MySpace with six songs to download.... www.myspace.com/duncanmcfarlane....
