Duncan is very popular at Faldingworth and this time we look forward to him bringing along his acoustic band.

Duncan's band is made up of
Duncan McFarlane - Singer/Songwriter & Guitar
Anne Brivonese - Fiddle & Backing Vocals
Steve Fairholme - Melodeon & Backing Vocals
Gerry McNeice - Double Bass & Backing Vocals


The Duncan McFarlane Band (acoustic) Classy English Folk, eminently listenable vocals and great songs, both traditional and contemporary with a strong rhythmic impetus that's infectious in the extreme. 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. Duncan has an obvious feel for the tradition and a deep-rooted belief that it has a place in the current folk scene, aspects which he puts across with lively showmanship. His own songs show a canny grasp of, and response to, the tradition, while his intrinsic seriousness of intent and approach is often laced with a healthy irreverence that happens to be hugely entertaining.

Support Act - Fyrish
Marjorie Paterson is a cello player, originally from the Black Isle, who grew up in a musical family and who has a natural gift for music and harmony and loves to play a wide range of styles.
Dave Cowan is a singer and guitar player from Glasgow who has been singing traditional and contemporary folk songs for many years. He has a relaxed, easy style and a mellow voice.

I look forward to seeing as many mudcatters as possible at the above event

We stayed overnight near Otley to see them last year and it was worth every penny .

Saw them at Shrewsbury - as good as it gets, great trad songs, great self-written, great arrangements, brilliant sound - you could every word great ensemble playing.

They are one of the best live bands playing mainly trad music in this country.

Cheers

Thanks Les in C!
We enjoyed Shrewsb. very much! Glad you did too.
Why didn't we meet up for abeer, then?
Would have been great to! next time, eh?

Now we're looking forward to having a reet good night with the acoustic-band-version at Faldingworth.

Anticipating a belter there! (as still on a high!)

Now there is a good idea. My main man won't be there that night, but if somebody would be able to do that, could they get in touch with me.

I will have a look at the people coming and see if there is anybody Dunc.

....and those memories of seeing Duncan and his Band playing live at Sidmouth, in The Ham, during the first ever Sidmouth Folk Week have just come flooding back again as I watch and listen to this fabulous tune.

There they were, starting the song so innocently...and there were some in that audience who didn't know what was about to happen, when the innocent little jig turned into a huge wall of folk rock.

The wonderful sound lit up that marquee, in fact, Duncan and his Band lit up the entire town that night!

A great, great memory to have.
