Up and coming six piece folk-rock outfit - The Duncan McFarlane Band - will deputise. They cook up a mighty brew with striking arrrangements of trad songs and their own trad-influenced originals.

21 Apr 04 - 05:30 AM (#1166914) Subject: RE: Raunds Festival (UK) change From: HipflaskAndy This, from the festival website.... 'Sadly due to circumstances beyond the festival organisers control, Little Johnny England will no longer be playing on Saturday Night at the Raunds Music Festival. In view of this late change brought to the organisers attention on Thursday the 15th April we have altered the line up for Saturday night. The line up for Saturday night will now be: Doughboy Zydecajun Magic Carr The Duncan McFarlane Band We feel this is an excellent line up of high quality folk and roots music from across the UK and further a field that will make for a fantastic night out at the Raunds Music Festival. Information on the three bands can be found on the website.' (which is on the first post of this thread) |

Bit shabby. No reflection on Raunds which with the bands listed above, plus Martin Simpson, Bill Jones and a decent "etc." looks like being A Jolly Good Show. |

They were Maggie and Duncan Scott, John Galsworthy and Peter Gadd.....For my sins I lived in Rushden for a number of years, early 70s... |
