Duke's Special deal 
John McGurk

IT'S the real deal. An Ulster music man has just been snapped up by one of the UK's most influential record companies. 
For the man who would be music king, Duke Special has just signed a 'long-term recording deal' with V2 Records. 
Duke Special - real name Peter Wilson - has joined the home of chart-topping artists like Stereophonics and Paul Weller and hip, influential ac...

										Ive been listening to the new album and god does that guy want to rhyme alot. Someone tell him its not Nursery Rhymes we want to listen to here. It somehow makes his songs a bit twee. Don't get me wrong its a fine album but they had already in my opinion made a name for themselves, they should have tried new things. It just sounds like Final Straw 2. Not a bad thing but i was expecting something a bit different. Maybe i'm being naive. Maybe they want to be stadium rockstars but bands like REM ne...

Have yet to hear the live tracks, am hoping it'll be a bit more inspiring than the re-recorded original tracks from 'Since Kyabram'
They've taken off all the rough edges, toned down the backing vocals and generally taken the soul out of what was (the original recordings at any rate) a genuinely impressive debut album! 
I remember something similar happening to Damien Rice a couple of years ago where a batch of his tracks...
