A flying visit into Phoenix from Duke Special who was on his way to Brighton’s Komedia to perform an acoustic gig and tracks from his new album Look out Machines and the single Nail on the Head.
There are so many sides to this artist. Over the last five years alone, he has undertaken musical projects based on the photography of Strand, Stielglitz and Steichen for the New York Met (‘Under the Dark Cloth’), written a concept album based on a Paul Auster novel and recorded by Steve Albini (‘The Silent World of Hector Mann’), crafted shows based on the music of Harry Nilsson and Belfast legend Ruby Murray, collaborated with Clannad and even had the time for a sideline in DJing by establishing his Gramophone Club. This summer, he’ll pen the score for a new musical adaptation of Gulliver’s Travels to be staged in Belfast by Youth Music Theatre UK.
Duke Special is performing next in Islington MAY (check out the website for full gig list).
