Gordon Duncan (1964-2005) was one of a young generation of Scottish pipers who opened up the piping scene to a more innovative approach. He began playing at the age of 8, taught initially by his father and his older brother Iain Duncan, himself a successful piper and Pipe Major. He was a highly successful junior competitor, but at the age of seventeen stopped competing regularly to focus on the folk scene. He recorded with a number of bands, including Wolfstone, The Tannahill Weavers, Ceolbeag, and the Dougie MacLean Band.

Born in the same hospital where cult TV comedy Green Wing was to be shot a mere few decades later, lyrical songsmith Ben Marwood mixes pop songwriting with a generous portion of angsty anti-folk. Signed to one of the UK’s smallest but proudest record labels, the ever-DIY Broken Tail Records, he’s gigged alongside Frank Turner, Frightened Rabbit, Pete and the Pirates, SixNationState, Glasvegas, Jetplane Landing and Chris T-T, and he’s loved every second of it.
