Promotional Tour from January 29 to February 2
It was earlier this year that the soulful voice of Welsh native Duffy was heard by the world with the release of her debut UK topping single “Mercy”, an unveiling of what was to come from this 24 year-old.
Her debut album Rockferry was released to critical acclaim reaching #1 in the UK, #4 in the US and #12 in Australia. It has already sold over 4 million copies globally and is platinum in 15 countries and gold in 14!
Rounding out an incredible year for Duffy, she was recently nominated for three Grammy Awards, Best New Artist, Best Female Pop Vocal (Mercy) and Best Pop Vocal Album (Rockferry).
Duffy has been announced to perform at V Festival 2009, however her Australian fans will receive an early treat as Duffy will be heading to our shores from January 29 to February 2 for a whirlwind promotional visit.

The Bug w Warrior Queen, Rhythm n Sound w Tikiman play the Beck's Festival Bar on Saturday January 24!
VOID, Civil Society and Sydney Festival are proud to present the debut Australian performances of two of the most prolific and unmistakable outfits in electronic music, The Bug featuring Warrior Queen and the legendary, mysterious German techno dub collective Rhythm & Sound - the creative force behind Basic Channel, Chain Reaction and Maurizio.
On Saturday January 24, The Beck’s Festival Bar is set to erupt into a sonic field of deep, dark and brilliant future dub. London/Jamaican act The Bug featuring Warrior Queen debut with their mix of Ragga, Dancehall, Hip Hop and Garage set to Dubstep and Grime arrangements. Berlin outfit Rhythm & Sound’s stripped down, rootsy, hi-tech dub/techno has earned them legendary status. Joining Mark Ernestus (half of Rhythm & Sound, Basic Channel and Maurizio with Moritz Von Oswald) is their regular collaborator the enigmatic Dominican vocalist Tikiman (aka Paul St. Hilaire).
To compliment this unique ensemble of artists is a stellar local line-up. Mark Pritchard representing the Warp Record label, Sub Bass Snarl, Victim and Garage Pressure team up with vocalist’s Steve Spacek and Ozi Batla to make Saturday January 24 at Beck’s bar the biggest date on the calendar this summer.
Saturday 24th January 2009.
Becks Festival Bar, Hyde Park Barracks.
Tickets $38 bf

Following the successful launch of his highly praised third album Pendulum earlier this year, Gerard Masters takes his trio on a lightning five cities in five days tour around the country.
