Duke Special is an artist aptly named. Dynamic, musically
ambitious & bracingly eccentric, 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.
Duke Special is a fervent performer who harks back to a pre-rock ’n’ roll era, with dashes of Gershwin and orchestral swing, all tinged with a Northern Irish lilt and poetic lyrics that could feature in a modern-day fairytale; the perfect balance of old and new - boasting the appeal of a three-minute pop song with the incessant charm of an old-school music hall.
He is the f****ed up ringmaster of a broken down circus, the lead dancer in a forgotten ballroom of ghosts, the loudest singer in a midnight choir and the first on his knees in an old time revival tent.
