Duke Special Live in Belfast

Duke Special, the Belfast-based songwriter known for his romantic piano style and theatrical live shows, brings his unique blend of Vaudeville and music hall to the stage. His performances often feature vintage 78s played on a gramophone and unconventional percussion from cheese graters and egg whisks, creating an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and captivating.

With a career spanning over two decades and multiple album releases, Duke Special has built a reputation for warm, accented vocals and a stage presence that shifts from his earlier "hobo chic" look to a more authentic self. Fans can expect a setlist drawing from his extensive catalog, including songs from acclaimed albums like *Songs from the Deep Forest* and *I Never Thought This Day Would Come*.

This intimate concert offers a rare chance to experience one of Northern Ireland's most distinctive musical talents in his home city. His live performances have a theatrical style inspired by Vaudeville and music hall, and often incorporate 78s played on an old-fashioned gramophone, or sound effects from a transistor radio.
