Duke Special has announced a gig in Dublin's Workman's Club on Wednesday April 25th. The Dublin show will be part of a tour to celebrate his first commercial album, entitled Oh Pioneer, since I Never Thought This Day Would Come in 2008.
Special said of his new album: "Standing on the edge of recording a new album is a daunting task. Behind you are the sessions and songs you have recorded previously, some popular, some well known, some dear to your own heart but not celebrated, some completely overlooked... ahead are other peoples' expectations, your own hopes for the record, the worry of shitty reviews, paying the bills and so on but... I love the adventure.
"Wooden Fingers Puppet Theatre Company, The Bank of Ideas, a banned Iranian children's book about a fish, a pirate who wants to retire, a bar man who hears people's stories whether he likes it or not, the human condition and late night conversations with friends on the roof of the 'Oh Yeah' building about your dreams are just a few of the ingredients to go into Oh Pioneer."
Tickets for the Workman's Club show are on sale from Saturday 18th February and are priced at €17.35.
