Podcasts about Duke Special

This episode of the podcast follows on from a visit by the author Jan Carson to Waterford as part of the Creative Ireland Shared Island initiative. This project is a collaboration between Mid and East Antrim Borough Councils and Waterford City and County Council who are aiming to develop and enhance a shared sense of community through various means, one of which is creativity and literature. Jan gave a talk at SETU, entitled, “Untangling the Knots of Northern Identity” which explored her identity as a Northern Protestant who identifies as an Irish writer. Jan's novel The Raptures was published in 2022 and was shortlisted for the An Post Irish Novel of the Year award and the Kerry Group Novel of the Year. Her novel The Fire Starters won the 2019 EU Prize for Literature for Ireland. She has written a number of short story collections, and her writing has been featured on BBC Radio 3 and 4, and on RTÉ. She has most recently worked alongside Duke Special in adapting The Velveteen Rabbit for the stage and the run begins this month at the Lyric Theatre, Belfast. Her next novel, Few and Far Between, will be released next year.The episode also features Katherine Collins, the Creative Ireland Coordinator in Waterford who discusses the value of the Shared Island project and the power of the arts in helping us to understand one another better.

W/C 13th January 2025Because I am not sure what to write this week, I am going to back fill a few bits of extra information on some of the stuff that came up...Duke Special was born just a few weeks before me in Northern Ireland, and the song of his I am banging on about was released in 2005. There is a Marillion tie-in as he often works with Ben CastlePride and Prejudice (sort of) has just begun its run for this year, and is going to be on the road for quite a while so you have a good chance of catching it. The website has the cast details, and jolly fine they all were. Don't think about it, just book and go.According to onlineopticiansuk there is a chart to help you pick reading glasses, and apparently for my age I need a 1.50 to a 2.00. The strength of all reading glasses is measured in dioptre, with units increasing by 0.25 dioptre depending on the power of the lens. So there.Stay safe.Freewheel - Duke SpecialTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.

Duke Special - The Rose Garden - Bogart: Life Comes in Flashes

Momentos emocionantes y también explosivos. He buceado a conciencia en mi fonoteca para aunar sonidos muy soul, muy negros, con momentos sinfónicos y melódicos alentadores. Así vibramos con Donny Hathaway, John Fogerty, Charles Bradley, Al Jarreau o Shirley Brown y nos inspiramos con The Divine Comedy o muy similares como Luke Special o el gran John Howard.CLO PROMO UPDISCO 1 BRUUT! Dex (5)DISCO 2 TOM JOHNSTON & DELBER McCLINTON Giving Up For Your Love (MUSCLE SHOALS - 15)DISCO 3 JOHN FOGERTY & JENNIFER HUDSON, ALLEN TOUSSAINT & REBIRTH BRASS BAND Proud Mary (14)SEP MARTÍN X (TWITER) + Lunes RÁINERDISCO 4 DUKE SPECIAL Everybody A Little Something (2)DISCO 5 THE DIVINE COMEDY To The Rescue (6)DISCO 6 JACQUELIN E.

Winners are better at quitting. Their ability to know when to quit gives them the space and energy to win (instead of wasting their efforts on a losing endeavor). The book Quit by Annie Duke explains this counterintuitive phenomenon and tells us how to get ahead by being better at quitting. In this episode, I discuss the book with Natalie King. We talk about the practical applications of this work and how quitting can lead to more useful outcomes. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booksapplied/support

We speak about his musical inspirations, his new album, his eclectic work [which is as diverse as writing the theme tune for the Irish Sesame Street to writing the music for and appearing in Deborah Warner’s critically acclaimed 2009 production of Bertolt Brecht’s ‘Mother Courage and Her Children’ at London’s National Theatre] and his candid take on new music.

I catch up with the eclectic musician Duke Special ahead of his Brighton leg of his UK and Ireland tour to celebrate the release of his new studio album. That album Look Out Machines was described by Q magazine as “Sumptuous, symphonic pop anthem, courtesy of dreadlocked Irishman who sounds like The Flaming Lips crossed with Rufus Wainwright”. We speak about his musical inspirations, his new album, his eclectic work [which is as diverse as writing the theme tune for the Irish Sesame Street to writing the music for and appearing in Deborah Warner’s critically acclaimed 2009 production of Bertolt Brecht’s ‘Mother Courage and Her Children’ at London’s National Theatre] and his candid take on new music.

Duke Special wrote the music for the show.
