Description

Duke Special (Peter Wilson) is a singer, songwriter and composer based in Belfast, Northern

Ireland. His romantic style, distinctive accent and vocals have earned him a loyal fanbase

and a string of successful albums, including Adventures in Gramophone & Songs From the

Deep which went platinum.


He is curious about music, theatre, books, poetry, art, love, life, redemption, death and 78s.

He has released 16 albums and EPs, toured all over the world, and has been involved in a

diverse array of projects, including writing the music for Deborah Warner’s critically

acclaimed 2009 production of Mother Courage and Her Children at London’s National

Theatre and being commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to write a

series of original songs based on photographs for an exhibition.


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. His new album 'Blood for Ghosts' is available now.


Special thanks to Julie & John for arranging this interview.
