17.02.06 Duke Special and David Ford
In a rare Friday night Waiting for Sunday special the two rising stars that are Duke Special and David Ford are to perform in an up close and personal music hall spectacular.
Each of the performers are currently making a big impact with their unique styles, talents and record releases. Duke Special, who was supporting Van Morrison in concert for two dates last week, has been nominated in the best album category of the Choice Music Prize - the irish equivallent of the Mercury Prize. (He may yet win it - the award ceremony takes place in Dublin on Feb 28th.) His show, complete with old gramophones, egg whisks and old-time music hall paraphenalia is like nothing you have seen and his beautifuuly crafted songs will be lodged in whatever part of your brain requires the most healing for a long time to come. visit www.dukespecial.com for more about the man and his music.
David Ford is currently play-listed on Capital FM with his single - I don't care what you call me which was released this week. Inventive, melodic and timeless, David Ford's songs showcase him as a true original. Formerly of glam-rockers Easyworld, he's now pursuing a solo career with all the restless passion you could hope for. 'With every clear note that escaped his mouth he sang with such immense power and feeling... I almost felt that he took me to the place where he was at when he wrote the songs'- A live review from www.contactmusic.com visit www.david-ford.com
