‘the Duke’s honeyed tones are perfect for these honest, passionate songs about love and loss.’
* The Independent **** *

On stage, Duke Special explodes into musical mayhem – the battered old trademark gramophone wheezes, huge cymbals clash, egg whisks and cheese graters break free from the kitchen, a stumpf fiddle screeches and the crushed velvet covered piano thumps and tinks in unison – but it’s the very core of the songs, his heartfelt, passionate poems, that will remain in your head long after the lights have gone down.
