Live at Mercury Lounge on Friday, March 9th 2012

Duke Special, a.k.a.PeterWilson,is a Belfast artist with an unique sound, often referred to as ‘vaudeville’. His songs are shaped by an omnipresent piano, harps, brass, strings and – his trademark on stage – an old gramophone. The result are very romantic and passionate little hymns with the Duke’s soft vocals. He supported Aqualung, Rufus Wainwright, Paddy Casey, Gemma Hayes, cDavid Ford, The Divine Comedy Snow Patrol and many others over the last years.

“Duke is in a world of his own”—INDEPENDENT

“The Duke’s songs are as comforting as chestnuts roasting on an open fire”—THE SUN

“Unique and stunning”—THE SUN
