Tour de force: the Belfast lad with the great tunes and distinctive hair charms French viewers with one of his many wonderful songs.
Recorded on 16 March 2007, below is Duke Special performing 'Freewheel' live on French music programme Taratata. The song is taken from the Duke's fairly wonderful 'Songs From The Deep Forest' album.
Unfortunately, the clip ends just as the presenter calls Mr Wilson and the lads over for an interview - and as I haven't seen the full programme and haven't yet found a longer clip, I can't yet enlighten you as to whether they do a Damo Rice and speak in French!

Re: Duke Special's 'Freewheel' on French TV Just to follow up on this, the programme was broadcast on French TV last night - the interview was in English. Apart from the now-obligatory hair question, the highlight (no pun intended) was when Peter Wilson proudly declared that he was Irish, not English. For some reason I felt proud too - am I turning into an ex-pat? There are enough of 'em in the Irish bars here, whenever I go to watch an Irish football or rugby game on TV and hear them being sentimental for cheap Guinness and the like...
