Last night some friends and i went to see Duke Special at the Thekla It was brilliant!
His music is so quirky, as my friend said - a mix of 70's Queen /Led Zep and a clarinet and triangles!
I have seen him before at various festivals but the intimacy of the Thekla gave the gig a whole different atmosphere - Duke interact with the crowd and clearly enjoyed playing on a ship - with his particularly special rendition of Sinking boat blues - sung from the middle of the crowd!
here is a cute little video/animation of his latest song Freewheel
