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. Blissfully at home in his own alluring genre of beautifully bruised romanticism, Duke Special inhabits a world unlike any other - a world filled with vaudeville-esque sensibility, sing-a-longs and addictive melodies.
Those who know him for the platinum album 'Songs from the Deep Forest', including the hit song 'Freewheel' may be surprised by the breadth of his work. Duke Special’s immense creative talents have seen him involved in some hugely diverse projects for theatre, art and television over the last few years. Duke is now busy writing his next album though due for release in 2015 and will go into the studio to start recording soon.
