a man whose musical and comedic talents stretch to clowning about whilst singing about funerals
the smaller-in-real-life-but-still-somehow-larger-than-life
vaudeville-esque
tragi-comic musician
and Huckleberry-Finn-The-Musical-wannabe (better they never make a reality find-a-star show about that!)
...Duke Special!
At the end of last night’s rapturously received Manchester Academy gig, for the last encore, he and the band leapt off stage, walked through the crowd, busked an improv number about being in the middle of the room, someone playing the spoons, etc. And then ended with a fantastic necessarily-unplugged version of John Lennon Love. And all about two feet from where we were standing!! I always say that M picks the best spot to stand at a gig… ;-)
Catch him now while you can still see him in some intimate venues – or at Greenbelt. Do it – or have another boring bank holiday weekend.
