Offaly gig for legendary Belfast singer/ songwriter

TO finish off Lee's Bar and Venue's series of Thursday night gigs it’s a real treat to give an intimate gig vibe to a legend of the Irish singer song writer scene, Duke Special on October 6.

By nature, Duke Special (aka Belfast's Peter Wilson) is a curious person. He is curious about music, theatre, books, poetry, art, love, life, redemption, death and 78RPM records.

All of this is evidenced by thevariety of musical adventures throughout his career. He has released 14 albums and EPs, toured all over the world and has been involved in a diverse array of other projects

Support of the night will be by Blind Stitch, which  is a project featuring the music of Kevin Murphy, a celebrated cellist, multi-instrumentalist, composer and songwriter from Cork, Ireland. He has also featured as a guest musician with many Irish and international artists such as The National, bon iver, Jenny Lewis, Lisa Hannigan, Rick Danko, Gavin Friday, Seamus Fogarty, Adrian Crowley and Dave Gahan.
