Description
Duke of Uke presents the first of an all new season of shows... An intimate night of solo performances in the beautiful surroundings of The Old Church in Stoke Newington.
There are only 100 seats available for this show so book early to avoid disappointment.
Withered HandKnown for his prolific live performance and exuberant and original songwriting, Dan Willson aka Withered Hand will be headlining the first of a new season of Duke of Uke shows.
Active in the world of visual art and dabbling in music for many years, Dan Willson came late to singing and songwriting at age 30, in a period of reflection between the death of a close friend and the birth of his first child. The resultant material, much of which went on to become the album Good News, was praised for its depth and startling honesty, and won him accolades from the likes of Rolling Stone and Mojo, as well as fans from Jarvis Cocker to Marc Riley. The ensuing years saw him embraced by Fife-based musical powerhouse the Fence Collective and his songs picked up by MTV and cult series Skins.
His long awaited second album New Gods explores eleven meditations on love, fidelity and transience and sees Willson’s songwriting hit dizzying heights: by turns confessional and melancholy, raucous and life-affirming; his trademark dark humour turned down a wee notch; life, in all its many facets, turned up to full.
“Killer melodies… wobbly folk grooves…as melodic wimps go, he’s up there with fellow Scots Belle and Sebastian; his tunes full of warm, woozy singsong charm” – Artist To Watch

Ralegh Long
After the great success of his debut album Hoverance, released on Gare du Nord records on 6th April 2015, we're very proud to have our good friend Ralegh Long grace the Duke of Uke stage!
"Inspired by English mysticism and the glories of nature, Ralegh Long registers at the more esoteric end of the male singer-songwriter spectrum"
The Guardian (New Band Of The Week, Feb 2015)
"Ralegh Long is an English Singer-Songwriter. His debut album Hoverance, is released on Gare du Nord records on 6th April 2015. This beautifully pastoral record features a cast of collaborators including Tom Dougall of Toy, string-arranger Louis-Philippe, Jack Hayter (ex-Hefner) and A Little Orchestra."

“You’ll be reminded variously of Nilsson, early Todd Rundgren, even Alex Chilton”
