The Duncan McFarlane Band CD 'Woodshed Boys' is INDEED brill John!!!
Get one bought soonest lad!
They're at Saddleworth Fest this Saturday, Harewood House (twice!) and Robin Hood's Bay in August, Walton (Essex) and Otley Fests in September.

A thumbs up and good raps from 'fRoots' - excellent review in USA's latest 'Dirty Linen'
- and a fine report appeared yesterday on Radio Two's Folk & Acoustic Website (news page)
- which pointed out that some of the CD 'appears' on Yorkshire Television's soap 'Emmerdale'.
One track (Can't Go There) is even getting repeated plays on a 'country' station in Montana! (which worries them a bit I understand!)

All of the band live and work tween Ilkley/Otley/Leeds - is that Northern enough?
And Cleckheaton resident Alistair Russell and Maggie Boyle (Keighley resident?) are on it too.
Alistair Hulett's on it as well, but up in Glasgow, that's WAY too North for 'North'!!!
