Duncan McFarlane (solo)

'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. (Living Tradition)
Classy English Folk Guitar, eminently listenable vocals and great songs, both traditional and contemporary.
(Mike Raven) 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. (fRoots) Stylistically, Duncan's guitar technique falls very much within the Carthy/Nic Jones school, with a strong rhythmic impetus that's infectious in the extreme. His singing has real character too. (Traditional Music Maker)

The Duncan McFarlane Band (electric)
The world can always use more good English folk-rock and this is loud, fast music, based on the rhythms of
English country dance music with sharp-edged electric guitar leads, electric fiddle, and gutsy, gritty singing.
Essentially solid, energetic English electric folk, full of pumping riffs and loads of energy. It’s nice to find a
folk-rock band that understands both folk AND rock and knows how to draw on one without diluting the other.
'Robust folk-rock - reels, jigs and stout songs, well-executed and infectiously lively.'
(quotes from fRoots; Yorkshire Evening Post; Dirty Linen (USA); Shreds & Patches; Tykes News; Stirrings)

The Duncan McFarlane Band (acoustic)

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. His acoustic band also features Anne Brivonese on fiddle, Geoff Taylor on cittern and Steve Fairholme on melodeon.
