Duncan Warren

Most of you will know Duncan Warren from Radio Cornwall, or previously Pirate FM. But Duncan Warren was once an electrician who worked for SWEB (South Western Electricity Board). In his spare time he was the resident DJ at the Barn Club Eastern Green for many years. But Duncan did so much more for Penzance than he ever got credit for. Just one of his achievements was the creation of Duchy Hospital Radio. I believe Duchy radio was one of only two hospital radio stations in the country at the time that played
Look out for the Duchy Radio Pictures.......and for more information of Duchy Radio and how it became such an icon as it sent a presidence for future radio stations
 
Duncan was also a keen sailor, being a member of the Penzance Sailing club in the 1970 s or thereabouts. Had his own Laser class racing dinghy.
