A Tribute to Duncan K

Well, sad news again ... For those of you who haven't heard, Dunc has decided it's finally time to hang up his soundman/lighting-man/white-van-man boots! It was a difficult decision for him to make, but it's been on his mind for a while. Pressures of work and family life have made it impossible for him to carry on with the Rock 'n' Roll lifestyle.

In deciding to leave Dunc's main worry was that, due to his pivotal role in the band, his decision might lead to Splinter disbanding. So once he'd made up his mind he did everything he could to ensure that Splinter didn't have to come off the road - not even for a single gig! That's the kind of man Dunc is - a diamond! You really would have to go a long, long way to find a more generous and caring man than Dunc - a true friend. We are all going to miss him and his ever-cheerful character so very, very much.

A little bit of history:
Dunc was there at the foundation of Splinter and has been with the band ever since in it's on going mission (almost NINE years so far!) to bring quality Rock 'n' Roll entertainment to appreciative audiences all over the south of England. He started off as a driver/roadie and, as his interest grew, he began experimenting with lighting effects to add to the ambience of our shows. Wanting to make more of a contribution he decided to acquire a sound system for the band and became Splinter's fifth member as our sound engineer. Over the years he built up his system into a colossus 4000-Watt sound rig, which was a major factor in the Splinter live sound.

But worry ye not, we've acquired sound and lights capable of allowing us to continue to bring you our distinctive live performances. So, although we will all miss Dunc in spirit, hopefully his absence will not detract from the quality of our show.

But, we'll always be thinking of you, Dunc ... you brought something so much more than lights and sound to the Splinter family...
