KIRK DUNCAN info

Keyboardist, also a gifted composer.

First band I've been able to trace with him was The Mirage, around 1965:

Pete Hynes (vocals)
Ray Glynn (guitar)
Dee Murray (bass)
Kirk Duncan (keyboards)
Dave Hynes (drums)

In 1972, he joins mythical Joe Brown in his new band, Brown's Home Brew, along with Joe's wife, the great, late Vicki Brown:

Joe Brown (vocals)
Vicki Brown (vocals)
Ray Glynn (guitar)
Jeff Peters (bass)
Kirk Duncan (keyboards)
Dave Hynes (drums)

After that, I haven't been able to trace more bands with Kirk. But he remained active as session player, mostly with his mates Ray Glynn and Nicky James.

1. Was Kirk a member of Jawbone and/or Portobello Explosion?

2. Was Kirk ever considered to be a member of Spencer Davis Group?

3. Kirk is mentioned in the fantastic album Guitar Orchestra by Mick Grabham & Tim Renwick. Did he maybe play there, uncredited?

4. Was Kirk the other half of The Jamesons (along with Nicky James)?
