Duke Special, real name Peter Wilson, is a songwriter and performer based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. A piano-based songwriter with a romantic style and a warm, distinctly-accented voice, he has a distinctive look, with his long dreadlocks, eyeliner and outfits he describes as "hobo chic". His live performances have a theatrical style inspired by Vaudeville and music hall, and often incorporate 78s played on an old-fashioned gramophone, or sound effects from a transistor radio.

For a first tab I don't think I've done too bad. The only queries I would I have myself about the intro and that middle 8; those chords dont sound EXACTLY right, but if you the root note and the G, B and E strings it should sound okay. If anyone has any particularly regarding those parts, email me at [email protected]
