Duke Special and Neil Hannon will be seen facing off in a unique "winner takes all" musical battle specially recorded for RTÉ One's 'The View' on Monday night.
The show follows on from the pair's superb sold-out concert at Dublin's Vicar Street last October for Amnesty International, after which Duke Special issued a challenge to his fellow northerner.
He said: "I have decided to settle the Hannon issue once and for all. There was some debate regarding the outcome of the Vicar Street spat. This time there will be no such quibbling. This time the winner takes all".
The 'musical duel' will see both artists perform songs from each other's back catalogues and defend their honour in an interview grilling with 'The View' host John Kelly before duetting in a showdown.
It will be broadcast on RTÉ One at 11.35pm and includes, among others, versions of 'Songs of Love' (the theme tune from 'Father Ted'), written by Hannon, and Duke Special's 'Diggin' an Early Grave' and 'Our Love Goes Deeper Than This' |
Soooo wish I could be there...
