Never one to miss a 'marketing opportunity', me!!!
Thanks for the pozzy comments up above folks.

Les, we definitely count as 'current'. See www.duncanmcfarlane.co.uk
Once again we have festivals lined up this year Masham, Leigh-on-Sea, Glasson Dock, Sheffield Beer Fest, Hardraw, SIDMOUTH, Gainsborough, Ingleton
….some of them acoustic, some electric.
Even the acoustic line-up is getting plaudits now – for one example, I opened this on my email today…
'Hi Duncan
What a great gig last night! I keep hearing about your music but have never heard it live before... It's wonderful! - such drive and energy, and yet completely English. The only other band I've ever heard who come remotely near what you're doing is the full Eliza Carthy band with Spiers and Boden. It's rock without any American influence. Fabulous! Must get to hear the full electric band asap.'

…and a recent Mudcat thread after the leccie band played Holmfirth Festival of Folk had this…

'We popped in quickly to the Picturedrome but it was a bit loud for our little one
- we both agreed though that the Duncan McFarlane Band sounded better than the last Steeleye Span concert we went to'

…which was followed up with a PM to me on here…

'Really, you did sound better than SS. We went to see them in Auckland last year…. …….Anyway, we really enjoyed your stuff, shame we couldn't stay for more, but folk festivals and one year olds aren't the best helpmates!!!
PS, my hubby loved the song Duncan sang about computers on Saturday night (I was baby sitting so didn't get to hear it).... is it on a CD anywhere? Cheers.

We have no agent, no manager, no label, no proper marketing tools (though we have managed to be rated highly enough to have our gigs listed among the pros on the BBC Folk & Acoustic website for about a year now!).
We do everything ourselves 'because we just enjoy it all' – so pardon this publicity stance on here. Just come and hear us – make yourself known to us when you do – yours is a pint?
Folk on! - Duncan
