Just in case anyone gets the wrong idea from Liz's post...
The band aren't going pro - it's just me, 'solo'.
The band members have full-time day-jobs.

My own musical aims will focus on teaching guitar and recording other people in the 'new studio' - and as much solo 'live' work as I can muster!
Thanks for the best wishes - Dunc

Duncan, best of luck with the new chapter in your life, mate. I'm sure that you will make a great success of it. You deserve it!

I agree 100% with Nigel, Duncan.

You and your band should all be up there headlining folk festivals along with the rest of the very best the folk world has to offer. Your musical repertoire is so diverse too, acoustic solo, acoustic band, folk rock electric band, and all are as enjoyable as each other.

Loads of love to you all and masses of good wishes.

Congratulations Duncan...I'm sure 'turning pro' will be one of the best decisions you've ever made...still don't understand why it's taken you so long! I wish you every success...couldn't happen to a nicer, more talented chap.

Twas a fine gig - them Black Swanners sure know how to sing-a-long-a-chorus!

Folk club of the year 2009 - and still holding the title!
The 'awards' didn't call one for 2010 - so well done Roland and co!
You get to hang on to the honour! Bless!

A large number of Norwegian students filled the back two rows!
They were a real enthusiastic bunch - and they were heading back 'home' today.
Hope they have a safe trip - that's a lot of McF CDs heading to fresh ears over there - rah!

A 'lively' gig to say the least - great mirth and fun all night - well done you lot!
And the MC bought me a whisky (as it was my bithday!) - cheers!

I finally got to make my new 'public announcement' too!
I cease the day-time job in March - now need to make my crust from music, from here on in!
Let's hope there'll be lots more nights like York FC - Cheers! - Duncan

Duncan solo...Duncan & Anne...Duncan & the acoustic band...Duncan & the full electric breakfast! Whichever incarnation you listen to, your toes will tap, your synapses will be stimulated & you'll come away at the end of the evening brimming with joie de vivre!

If you've not seen Duncan yet then go, go GO!

Great songwriter and performer....and Anne's a gem on that fiddle of hers.

As he seems to be hiding his light under the proverbial bushel, here's notice that Duncan McFarlane is guest at the Black Swan Folk Club, Peasholme Green, York YO1 7PR tomorrow evening.

He'll be accompanied by Anne Brivonese on the fiddle, they make a fine duo if ever there was one!.

Doors open 8pm, tickets £7, £6 conc. so says the folk club website.

Might there be cake?
