He Was A Warlock

Following Duke awesome contribution to the Keep Mothers 10” series, which saw Duke create a sublime blues dirge, comes his first EP release “He Was A Warlock” captures Duke Garwood in his free blues form. A great precursor to his debut album for Fire “The Sand That Falls” due for release in late June. Duke Garwood has always been a wanderer. His early musical life was spent learning his chops in the then seedy beach bars of My Lai, Thailand. Returning to the UK in the ‘90s Garwood played around and about in squat parties and blues clubs, before releasing his first album, Holy Week in 2005. This was followed by Emerald Palace in 2007, an album recorded in a lonely hut up on the North Downs.

You might also have encountered Garwood adding screeds of brass to Archie Bronson Outfit’s live shows, or playing in The Woodsmen – all part of the nomadic wanderings of a musician and artist who’s perfectly content to exist and create on his own terms.
