Duke Special is one Ireland's most loved musicians and in this week's episode it is not hard to see why. The man behind Duke Special, Peter Wilson, opens up to Jarlath about his insecurities and the reason why he chooses to perform as Duke Special, how he felt completely out of his depth performing on Later with Jools Holland and how not being a megastar has allowed his artistic creativity to run completely free.
Peter talks about moving to Swindon aged 18 before returning home to Belfast out of guilt, the experiences he had as an apprentice pianist, his love for timelessness and things that are forgotten as well as revealing how he almost tried to join East 17.
