Love is the heart of us. Discard anything else.

Biog;
My history is based in the underground London music scene writing and performing my own material and inspiringly working live with/or recording work for Artists such as Kirsty MacColl, Johnny Marr, Ruby Turner, Marcus Vere, Snake Davis, Michael J McEvoy, Rick Parnell, JJ Bell, Gary Grainger, Jas Lochrie, Jimmy Copley, Nicky Graham, Mica Paris, Martin Brady,-( 'Men on Fire')-& Fender Europe, Richard Young, Susan Devita, & Producers Joe Mardin, John Porter.

I also wonderfully found my voice featured in the hugely popular Nickelodeon TV show
 'Summer in Transylvania’, Courtesy of the remarkable musical heart that is Micheal J Mcevoy.

-Duncan describes his songwriting and music as; 
"urrrmm.... Eclectic ?.... hearfelt ? Who knows ?..

Seriously tho' it's a bit like Marmite !!  
You either like it or you don't.
For me, any song needs to have something within it that can be personally meaningful to my own soul. But also has something, somehow which is universally shared, loved or hated. 
Within it a purpose that is ensured by the sincere heart in any it might touch, and which has it’s own individual, recognisable reality that either gently oozes, or ‘shouts out’ the raw emotion that was felt at the time that it was written.
Gotta love the ooze !

So long as it comes out naturally & isn't forced, it's good with me.
(Analyze that !)."

I like Marmite :) btw..

I love voices the most.
" It is so very rare that a voice with genuine, natural heart truly connects with me in a biological & chemical way. 
When that connection just naturally happens I am captivated and cannot escape.".

I was honoured to perform with the magical Emma Stevens during her BBC Children in Need 24hr Buskathon.
Emma gave kind permission for me to cover her song 'How to write a Love song' receiving exciting personal review from Emma and Pete Woodroffe

Mantra ;

"Cracking out hip, squelchy funk" - Time Out, London

When 6 eternal friends came together to form Black Forest Ghetto, the past, the present and the future of music (at that very moment) collided.

Many months passed as BFG worked tirelessly to hone their sound, sticking to a strict regime of Super Smash Brothers, basketball, press-ups and Drambuie. The product of this training was music that bounced, grooved and popped. But more importantly, it brought the fun back to music.

The main ambition of this London based 6 piece is to play shows, not gigs. To leave the paying crowds with the feeling that they have experienced something truly entertaining, not a magnolia coated, head nodding affair. Drawing on inspiration from idols such as Prince, Quincy Jones, Michael Jordan and Masahiro Sakurai (to name a few), BFG immortalised their sound in the winter of 2013, joining forces with Rogues Records to produce their debut EP Natural Gaming Talent.

BFG cruise into 2015 on a wave of excitement and opportunity, as they continue to stamp their mark on the UK music scene with the release of their first full length album, a packed live calendar and a collection of short tours.

“We're bringing the party to the people." 

Keep your eyes, your ears and your heart open. These are the voyages of the Black Forest Ghetto.
