Duke Special to perform at HMV Dublin and Belfast

The Duke will be treating fans to two signings this Saturday, first in HMV Grafton Street, followed by an afternoon appearance in HMV Donegall Arcade, Belfast

The Belfast native will perform tracks from his long-awaited new album I Never Thought This Day Would Come, to be released on October 17. He will be accompanied by very special guests, the 15 piece ‘Specular Choir’. Local band ‘The Lowly Knights’ will also perform at the Belfast event.

The first 40 fans to buy the Duke Special album on October 17 will be rewarded with wristbands to travel with the Duke and choir to Belfast on Saturday to see him perform in his hometown! A special bus will leave Dublin at the end of the Grafton Street appearance, allowing Duke Special and 40 fans to travel to Belfast HMV Donegall Arcade to see the Duke twice in one day.

Both gigs take place on Saturday October 18 as follows:

HMV Grafton Street Dublin - 11.00am

HMV Donegall Arcade, Belfast - 5.00pm
