Bernie Gilmour (drums)...
and our younger pals ...
Dave Budd (drums) and
Matt Peel (bass)...
tho' we try not to let 'em be seen as they catch too many admiring glances
(and they do halve the average age of the band!)
- hah!

B/W pix on here are invariably the work of Ani McNeice!
InfluencesDunx on the one hand: Nic Jones, Martin Carthy, Richard Thompson & on the other: Ian Anderson, Martin Barre, Andy Powell, Stephen Fellows. As for the band? They've never told me!

   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

Hope it clears up in time for FATE!

X Files strike again! Saw the freebie CD on Rock and Reel. There were you. Bought the mag, got it home and on the CD was the Bag of Spanners! Saw Neil (the lead singer of BoS) and he was, to say delighted, would be an understatement. He was so chuffed to be amongst such superstars!
