Early lifeDuncan was born in Turriff, Aberdeenshire on 14 May 1964 to tenant farmer Jock Duncan, well known as a bothy ballad singer, and his wife Frances.[1] Soon after Gordon's birth, Jock joined the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board and moved to Pitlochry after a brief spell in Thurso.[1] Initially taught by his father, Gordon began his piping career at the age of 10, winning many junior competitions under the tuition of Walter Drysdale,[1] but started to lose interest in competition piping by the age of 18, at which point he was an apprentice joiner.[4] CareerHe attracted attention from folk bands, touring the US and Europe with the Tannahill Weavers, Wolfstone and Ceolbeg and became associated with Dougie MacLean, playing low whistle on his albums.[4][2] He began composing soon afterwards, having travelled across Europe and been exposed to other traditions, especially Breton music.[4] He was a very influential piper who broke the boundaries of traditional piping music.[3] He was a member of the Vale of Atholl Pipe Band and also performed with the Atholl Highlanders, as well as being signed by Greentrax as a solo artist.[4][10] Duncan created a new style of idiosyncratic bagpipe music.[1] He also incorporated the bagpipes into a rendition of AC/DC's Thunderstruck.[4] His work was heard at T in the Park, Celtic Connections, Celtic Colours in Canada, the Lorient festival in Brittany, where he was the two-time winner of the MacAllan Trophy and the Fleadh Cheoil in Ireland.[13][4] He worked as a refuse collector and was known to scribble compositions on cigarette packets whilst at work.[1] CompositionsDuncan composed over one hundred tunes in his lifetime, with perhaps his most famous work, Andy Renwick's Ferret, being performed and recorded internationally.[5][6][7] He arranged music for the Vale of Atholl and ScottishPower pipe bands.[8][9] DeathOn 14 December 2005, Duncan was found dead at his home in Perthshire following a long struggle with alcoholism.[1] His funeral was held at Pitlochry Church of Scotland and was attended by hundreds of pipers.[6][4] He is survived by his mother and father, brother and two sisters, as well as his son, Gordon, and his wife, Mary.[1] In 2007, A National Treasure concert was staged in Perth by the Gordon Duncan Memorial Trust, and for the following four years, with the BBC airing the 2011 concert.[4][10][11][12] In January 2016, a gig was at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall as part of Celtic Connections.[13] DiscographyHe recorded three solo albums, and a further album was compiled after his death from previously recorded material.[8][14][15]
