Duncan Black RIP
It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the passing of legendary Bangor guitarist and link2wales contributor, Duncan Black. Our thoughts and condolences go out to his family and friends.
Originally from Ynys Mon, Duncan has played for many bands in Bangor/Anglesey since 1990. He used truck loads of FX pedals for his countless guitars, and can be heard on recordings by Mucus, Skinflick, FBF, Mongolian Dethkit, Pod, Fusion, Carbonvein, Jack Sharp, Papa Lazaroo, Hatework, The Major, This Thing, 3D, Rhian Mostyn, Ethania, The Silverback Blues Band, Rabo De Toro, The Mudshark Incident, Jpump & The Bulldozers, Baked Wicked and Logic of Impossibility. He also briefly played bass for Menai Bridge death metallers Grot.
Yeah it’s 2020 and I’m writing an article for link2wales – Let’s face it, there’s fuck all else to do right now. My much-loved band Rabo De Toro have split up, the festivals have been cancelled and it looks like Faith No More won’t come back to these shores in 2021 – It’s all fucked right? The irony is that a tidal wave of music is quietly building.
