Stuart Duncan
Stuart has admitted to being a “closet” guitarist for the past decade. Stuart traded music for his sporting passion many years ago to become one of Australia’s top snooker players. Having successfully played for Australia throughout the world, he has now gone full circle, and we are glad he is back playing his Gibson Les Paul / P.R.S. & Maton guitars bigger and better than ever.
Stuart has been part of bands such as Audiovine and local three piece rock outfit Tripleshot, playing originals, heavy rock, country rock and blues. Stuart is also a prolific music writer, co-writing many of the songs as well as working with other local artists with their new album song lists.

He has played in a few bands in Hawaii. And his first real band won the regional battle of the bands, they were the house band at the local 'jazz cellar' for a couple of years. Toby’s leads are superb and his rhythms are the canvas that Blue Mettle “paints” their music on.
