About This Event

Duke Special will bring his landmark album *Songs from the Deep Forest* to Derry’s Guildhall on 29 December 2026, marking its 20th anniversary with a special performance. The show revisits the record that first introduced his singular fusion of piano-led pop, vaudeville, and folk to a wider audience. Expect a set that moves seamlessly from hushed, intimate ballads to rollicking, foot-stomping numbers, his gravelly voice filling the hall’s grand acoustic space. A rotating cast of local musicians and guests will join him on stage, their instruments weaving around his upright piano. Tickets are priced at £31.05, and the performance begins at 7pm.
