BELFAST-born singer and songwriter Duke Special will be performing in Swindon on June 5. His debut album Adventures in Gramophone The Two EPs is out on June 13 and has received rave reviews.

One critic wrote: "Think Badly Drawn Boy without the annoying bumbling bits, think Mull Historical Society with a better voice, think Teenage Fanclub played by a one man band and you are getting close to an idea of the sound of Duke Special."

The star will be appearing at Riff's Bar on June 5. Tickets can be booked in advanced. The promoters say more information will follow shortly.
