Duncan formed his first band "The Flood" in the UK in 1985 attracting interest from Chrysalis Records. After the band dissolved, producer Ronnie Stone (The Pixies, David Gray and Mansun) suggested Duncan as a worthy replacement for the guitar player who had just left Irish band Picture House - then with London Records. By the end of 1993, Duncan was a full time member and one of the band's principal songwriters - signing a deal with Chrysalis publishing. In 1994, Duncan moved to Ireland and a few months later, the London Records relationship came to an end.
