Today on Twirl Radio, we’ll be chatting with legendary singer-songwriter-musician Duncan Faure. Originally a member of the South African band Rabbitt, along with Trevor Rabin, he was invited to join the pop band Bay City Rollers as lead singer and keyboardist.

The 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and now the “teens” have seen a brilliant solo career for Duncan. His songs range from upbeat pop (my personal favorite), to tender ballads to progressive rock. The man can do it all. Finally, a two-disc CD entitled Anthology is available. This set contains 36 tracks from his solo years, including a brand new song called “Nightfall”–which shows that Duncan’s work is better than ever.

We’ll be chatting with Duncan Faure on Twirl Radio today, at about 4:30 p.m. Pacific. But join us for all the fun–4:00-6:00 p.m. Pacific, http://www.twirlradio.com!
