  • Summary

  • By nature, Duke Special (aka Belfast’s Peter Wilson) is a curious person. He is curious about music, theatre, books, poetry, art, love, life, redemption, death and 78RPM records. All of this is evidenced by the variety of musical adventures throughout his career. He has released 16 albums and EPs, toured all over the world and has been involved in a diverse array of other projects.

    His new album, ‘Blood for Ghosts’, is the result of an encounter with an archive of old sheet music from the Princess Grace Irish Library in Monaco. The collection was bought by Princess Grace in 1977 from a Michael E. O’Donnell from Philadelphia and comprises over 1000 song sheets dated between 1840-1970. The ten songs chosen for the album were recorded at Bannview Studio in Portglenone by Séan Óg Graham and were mixed at Echo Zoo in Eastbourne by Dave Lynch.
