'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)
'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'

‘Absolutely great; The Duncan McFarlane Band CD ‘All Rogues &
Villains’ is chock full of great stuff,
really powerful playing and singing.’
–
Mike Harding, BBC Radio
Two, Folk & Roots Show
'Essentially solid, energetic English electric folk, full of pumping
riffs and loads of energy'
'Robust folk-rock - reels, jigs and stout songs, well-executed and
infectiously lively'
'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'
'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'

(USA), Shreds & Patches) |
