MARC DUFF
Although born in Ontario, Marc was raised in Glasgow and Argyll, Scotland. He is a founder member of the Scottish Folk band Capercaillie with whom he has toured and recorded in many countries and whose albums have sold over a million. Marcs four year performance degree at the Guildhall School of Music in London added to his eclectic taste in music. A distinct style of playing has kept him in demand as a session musician and teacher. Since leaving Capercaillie in 1995 to pursue his own career, he has worked with many prominent artists, playing whistle, low D whistle, bodhran, bouzouki and wind synthesizer. Recently he has toured in Scotland with Dr Fred Freeman, presenting a series of successful workshops in connection with the complete songs of Robert Burns series. In addition to live performances, Marc is currently researching and teaching as a traditional music Arts officer for Falkirk region, and is shortly to begin work on a solo album.
