The Vox Set presents Duke Special

Join one of Northern Ireland’s most well-known musicians at one of its most iconic landmarks for the final episode of The Vox Set’s third series.

  • Booking essential

Returning to round out the fourth series of The Vox Set is singer-songwriter DUKE SPECIAL.

One of Northern Ireland’s most prolific and innovative musicians, the piano-based artist is famed for his romantic style and unique blend of folk, pop, and vaudeville influences.

Duke Special set the tone for The Vox Set when he kicked off the very first episode at Mussenden Temple in 2023.

“I’ve played in some dives in my time, and this wasn’t one of them. It was absolutely beautiful,” he said.

“So often when you play a concert, a lot of it is to do with the environment and people’s experience and enjoyment of that… Job done as soon as you walk through the doors.”

Having played to captive audiences across the world over the years, performing live is still one of Duke Special's main passions.

Experience an evening like no other when this charismatic artist returns for an intimate sunset session on the edge of the Atlantic.
