Marmaduke Dando

Marmaduke Dando

There’s one artist on the Shed playlist who deserves his very own page and that’s London-based showman Marmaduke Dando. This week, two Marmaduke songs have gone on to the Shed.fm Internet Radio playlist: Who Would Have Thought, and All of Me – two songs that encapsulate the music of Marmaduke Dando and his eclectic band. So where does it all come from?

There’s hints of early Scott Walker, yes, hints of Brel and hints of Bowie, with a bit of Divine Comedy’s Neil Hannon in there, too… with a strong baritone. Among his influences, he lists Portsmouth and Prefab Sprout, but we sense a little more than that.

So, hats off to Marmaduke Dando – playing live at the following venues on the following dates:
