Ducknapped! is a live album by Richard Thompson recorded during the 2003 tour to support the The Old Kit Bag album and released on Thompson's boutique Beeswing label. As with most of Thompson's recent live releases from a tour supporting a new album, the new album is featured heavily, with 9 of The Old Kit Bag's 12 songs being featured.

Contents

The title is derived from the joke 'ducknapping' of the tour mascot, a stuffed duck, and the subsequent backstage appearance of cod ransom notes.

Would be purchasers should note that none of the tracks on this album are included on the Live In Providence DVD which was shot on the same tour. Live In Providence features Rory MacFarlane on bass guitar and double bass. Danny Thompson (no relation) was first call for the 2003 tour and plays on most tracks on this album, but after he was taken ill MacFarlane replaced him.
