The Man and his Songs.
Click for Jock Duncan Book
JOCK DUNCAN (1925-2021) was brought up in the ballad-rich farming country around New Deer and Fyvie in the Buchan area of Aberdeenshire and was one of Scotland’s great traditional singers and one of the last to inherit his songs from a living oral tradition. Many younger singers have been inspired by his songs and by his magnificent style and presence in performance whether in a small intimate gathering or on the concert stage. We may lament the loss of such an outstanding cultural icon – but we will continue to treasure the repertoire of one the great authentic voices of Scots song.
"More than a singer, more than a tradition bearer – Jock Duncan brought songs and the characters in them to life in an almost three dimensional cinematic way. Whether he was singing the big dramatic narrative ballads or the by no means lesser, entertaining ones, Jock engaged all the listener’s senses."
Rob Adams: Folk and Jazz Correspondent, The Herald.
