In 1988 Duncan recorded his debut album. Although a 'low key', homespun affair there was enough charm and wisdom displayed to recognise instantly that he's is a fiddler of class and distinction. He was also a player who, given the breaks, could stand the test of time. For those who don't already know, his 'break' came as fiddler, and instrumental frontman with Scotland's premier folk rock outfit Wolfstone. For many years Duncan toured the world spreading the gospel of Wolfstone. However the need to record another album of traditional fiddle music was never far away. Just over a decade after his debut came the release of the sublime 'Redpoint'. An album of ageless beauty, firmly establishing him as one of the most gifted Scottish players. Noted for his beautiful lyrical playing, Duncan played for some time with Blazin Fiddles.
