@gersthor he's like every other famous/successful person from northern Ireland. if they do great things they are english but if they fuck up they are Irish.
Nothing I could say in response to this could even come close to Holly Johnson's praise for this interpretation. Holly Johnson made my spine tingle when I first saw him perform this... no more needs to be said...
Awesome ! so much sensibility ! Oh I love this song and this guy !!! such a fabulous voice, such a wonderful way to play the piano.... The best one ever...
Yes, for once this wonderful song that you created is not "distorted". It is a beautiful tribute to your talent and your fabulous voice. Holly thank you and thank you Duke for those moments of happiness.
you are so right they dont get enough coverage, i went to a show about 6 months ago, im just dying to see another class, madness and fun all in one show, anything and anyone goes!!!
What an amazing video, such a great cover. I couldn't agree more with LAURAthemusiclives if you like Duke's music you really have to see him live. He has such an amazing voice especially live. Saw him at the Scala the other night, was a great show.
Duke really is something else. Loving his version of this song. I've seen him live 4/5 times now and his live show is something you should experience-something else.
cumminssssssss-I have an mp3 of his cover of Shinning Light on ATL if you wanted it.
Stunning! Always been one of my all time favourite songs, but on piano really makes it. Duke Special a great talent. Not a great piano player, but has more emotion, soul and spirit than so called talented players. I play this over and over again.....
And yet....still no superstar status. And for that, I am quite glad. Because he is "one of us", and I hate for him to be so famous as to be inaccessible. A fabulous version.
Now thats a christmas number one and a half!!!!!!

@bartohickey He is Northern Irish/British, not an Irishman as you wish him to be. Stop claiming him to be yours.

I love this guy, he makes me smile, laugh, cry, everything..
He makes me feel so proud too, as he is from my country- Northern Ireland. His hair is also amazing, i would love to have hair like that...
