DUKE SPECIAL - HOW I LEARNED TO LOVE THE SUN

PRESENTED BY AMY JACKMAN

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" and other radio mainstays like "Sweet sweet kisses" and "Last night I nearly died" may be surprised by the breadth of his work. Duke Special's immense creative talents have seen him involved in projects as diverse as writing the theme tune for Sesame Tree (the Northern Ireland edition of Sesame Street where he also got to sing with The Muppets) to writing the music for and appearing in Deborah Warner's critically acclaimed 2009 production of Bertolt Brecht's Mother Courage and Her Children at London's National Theatre.
