Tomorrow Night

Been a pretty busy week. spent a few days with Dave Lynch in Belfast working on tracks for the tour and recording a couple of B-sides for No cover up (the final single from sftdf). We had to pull an all nighter at the end to get everything finished and even then there is still loads to do!

Played the first live performance of I feel for you by Chaka Khan on Today FM which went really well (great relief there!) before going on The Cafe on RTE where we were treated to a very memorable version of stairway to heaven by Big Brother contestant - Carol….. yikes! (though she was going to give a copy of my CD to Vanessa Felts the next day).

Just back from rehearsing in Dundalk with soundman Oran. I am playing a warm up gig at the spirit store tomorrow night and am BRICKING IT!! Mind you the point of the show is to be able to run the set in front of an audience and learn from what happens so I suppose it’s normal to feel a bit freaked out!?

Hi Duke, we saw you and your band in Letterkenny this week. It was an amazing experience/performance.
Visually the band were so so cool- a feast for the eyes. The sound you guys generated was joyously loud and gloriously beautiful. Paul Pilot and Joe Echo were great choices of back up support. I’m sure they must have been wetting themselves.I I was in the second row and could just about stop myself from dancing in the aisles.
I had never seen you perform live before.
It was a night to remember for always.
Thank you.

Heard your, ‘Last Night I Nearly Died’, track and was blown away.  A work of art.  Bravo.  Didn’t know anything about you but found this website and hope to get to listen to more in London in April.
Best wishes
