In the latest of our archive interview series, it is time to hear from the celebrated composer, conductor and tuba player Andy Duncan.
Andy discusses his time as a player with Whitburn Band in the late 1970s and early 1980s where he worked with Major Peter Parkes, and the role Whitburn had in his journey to becoming a professional tuba player with the Hallé Orchestra and now with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
Andy also talks about conducting Whitburn in the early 2000s, with the highlight being the runner-up performance at the 2003 British Open - an achievement which remains the joint-best result for a Scottish band ever at the world's most prestigious brass band competition.
Andy's interview with Robert Fraser, which was recorded in 2021, is part of an exhibition about the band at the Whitburn Community Museum, which is in the new Whitburn Partnership Centre at Whitburn Cross.

Andy makes a great point here - I wasn't quite a contemporary of Andy in the junior band in Whitburn ( I think I was either Baritone or euphonium in Whitburn Juniors at the time). But I Was part of the strong West Lothian Schools system being a Whitburn Academy pupil and part of the West Lothian Schools Brass band. There were so many of us who had opportunities to make music, play and march in gala days etc. Andy has gone on to be someone who I love listening to at the SSO. I didn't follow him in a musical career but have got back into it myself in the last 10 years with Clackmannanshire Band (on Eb bass funnily enough). Great interview Robert.
