Duncan McTier

Duncan McTier plays double bass.

In 2014 Duncan McTier was convicted and barred from teaching after pleading guilty to two sexual assaults and one attempted sexual assault, during the 1980s and 1990s, on former students aged between 17 and 23. In 2017 McTier appealed the ban on grounds that victims were at least 17 years old; he won but the ban was reinstated as a fresh decision.
