Marmaduke Dando is a beguiling young singer with a formidable English baritone that can be traced to a genuine pirate ancestry.
His songs are a collection of morose ballads and frisky drunken jigs which often extract references to early Scott Walker, Brel and Weill.
On stage Marmaduke croons like Bowie in the shower, leading a golden mane on guitar, a shadow casting double bass player, a stony faced drummer, a lachrymose milk maid with a fiddle, a crab hand accordionist and klezmer inspired clarinetist.
With a bevy of self-penned demos of an endearing homely quality, Marmaduke is soon to commit these ditties to tape in a more established recording house.
Signed and supported by no body as yet, he aims to disseminate these recordings through various mediums and very soon visit some of the more discerning towns of the British Isles, to perform, sell, and spy.
