Under The Dark Cloth – Duke Special in concert in Belfast and Dublin

Duke Special will play two very special shows in Belfast and Dublin based on the photographs from the Metropolitan Musican of Art exhibition Stieglitz, Steichen, Strand which debuted at the museum in New York in March this year.

The show will first be in Waterfront Studio in Belfast on Monday 31st October and just over two week laters he will be down in The Sugar Club in Dublin on Tuesday 15th November. Tickets for Dublin are €20.50 and Belfast £15

Duke said

“After performing at a small festival in New York in March 2010, I was asked by Spectrum, an initiative of the Museum, to visit them the following day. They wanted me to consider a collaboration with the Department of Photographs and an exhibition of the work of Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen and Paul Strand.”

Duke will be going into the studio shortly to record the songs with the RTE Concert Orchestra, which will be available on CD and to download from October 31st (and the CD will be available for sale at the shows)

Duke Special’s follow-up album to “I never thought this day would come” is due in March 2012.
