| lol - at the gig in question he does a Duke Special cover ("Low", off the top of my head), stating him as his "only celebrity friend". The boot is online at http://www.songsfromtheroad.co.uk although it seems to be down at the moment. I also downloaded a Nottingham show (Feb 06 I think) where Duke Special is a guest in the set, so you might be interested in that. Hope you enjoy the 'Bat' cover - quite 'raw' but a pretty good effort imo. > Hi, > He was the support act for a friend of mine called Duke > Special quite a few times.
