Irish Tour Support Act – Duke Special!

EXCLUSIVE!

Belfast born musicial Duke Special will be supporting The Beautifil South throughout their Irish tour in September!  Take it from The Suitable Mouth – Duke is very Special indeed

Duke Special

 

“Dynamic, musically ambitious and bracingly eccentric, he’s right on cue to charm Britain with his inimitable style and lush musicality. Hailing from Belfast with a sound that is self-confessed “hobo-chic”, Duke Special – AKA the endlessly inventive Peter Wilson – is once heard, never forgotten.”

Visit DUKE SPECIAL’s website for loads of audio and video downloads and his MYSPACE Page for even more!
