Duke Special: free mini-album and tour news
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver February 7th, 2007

Irish songwriter sort Duke Special is on tour here right now, and sorta by way of celebration he's offering fans a free downloadable mini-album.

Woot? Sure thing.

When The Bear Bytes (a few of my favourite things) is available to download from here; by clicking that link you can also hear Mr Special's new single 'Freewheel', out this week on V2.

The five-tracker's tracklisting looks something like this:

'John Lennon Love'
'I Let You Down (Like A Tonne Weight)'
'Stumble And Fall'
'Feet In The Sky'
'Love Is A Series Of Scars'
