 You're very welcome to MBS Ghost tour backstage here at the main stage with Duke Special. Hello. How are you? Very well, thank you. It's good. Thanks a million for coming in and chatting to us. It's brilliant to have you. You're a bit of a surprise guest. Yeah, I just got a call a couple of days ago saying someone pulled out and could have filled a slot so I'm going to Scotland first thing in the morning but I had tonight for you so I thought, yeah, I'd love to. Well, that's brilliant. And have you been to Vantasta before? Did you know what to expect? Yeah, I think it was about three years ago and I came away with a cute campervan envy. Oh, lovely. So I knew what I was letting myself in for again but yeah, I was on the old site I think somewhere else so it's the first time I've been to this one. So Duke, you were on your own there with the keyboard, what's that like stripping it back from the full band just to yourself on stage? A little bit terrifying to be honest, yeah, ordinarily I would play like a festival with a band, at least a drummer, because yeah, it's an nature festival as people aren't there to hear you, they're here the whole weekend so I thought, oh, am I going to get killed here? I know it was a nice audience and yeah, I just stuck to ones that hopefully people might know. So I hear you're kicking off a tour soon? Yeah, in the middle of writing for a new record which I'm hopefully recording in September. I'm doing only a few live shows over the next while but I've been doing a lot of DJing. Oh, lovely. It's called the Gramophone Club. So I only play original 78rpm records because it's mainly 1950s and anything before so it's everything from jazz, gospel, rockabilly, skiffle, blues, rock and roll. Okay, okay, it's cool. So everything that's right with the world you're playing at. Yeah, yeah, it's great because no one can ask you for a cheesy request on this or very clearly. And where can we catch you next? Where's your next show? My next show I think is in England somewhere, Bearded Theory Festival. Okay. Next one in Ireland, I don't know. We're beginning to set up a tour for January, I mean for the new record but yeah, what's this space? Brilliant. And will you get a chance to enjoy yourself a fantastical tonight? No. Unfortunately I have to go straight back up the road now because I have to be at the airport at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Oh lovely. So better not take any chances. So no, stay hanging, leaving at five a.m. Okay. Thank you for coming to talk to us here at MPS Goals to Duke. Thank you. So that was Duke Special here on MPS Goals to Vantastival.
