Erm......

Can I just ask something, please....

WHERE is the Duncan McFarlane Band?

For years these guys have been performing excellently, bringing traidtional songs into the present day with some amazing arrangements.
They send people absolutely wild with their music.....and they also play acoustic versions of their folk rock traditional songs, as well as Duncan playing solo, too.

Even Diane has sung Duncan's praises, in fact, he and his band are one of the few acts that we agree over. His arrangements of Nic Jones songs are brilliantly done, both acoustically and with his electric band. I've seen the band live several times now, and have never ceased to be amazed at the reaction they get from their audience. And their audience is all ages..

Anyway, that's my bit....and yet another reason why the public should be allowed to vote, because bands like Duncan's would be voted for by many, many people.

But hey, I'm just a peasant, not to be trusted with 'musical knowledge' despite watching The DMcF band blow the roof off Sidmouth's Ham Arena when they supported the Battlefield Band on the last day of the first Sidmouth Folk Week, and knowing that this band is something special!

Prepare to be Reviatlised about The Tradition!
