Patrick Wolf at London Palladium ft special guests Marc Almond, Alec Empire

Marc Almond and Alec Empire to join Patrick Wolf onstage at London Palladium

Patrick Wolf has announced very special guests Marc Almond and Alec Empire will join him on stage at London Palladium on November 15, 2009 where he will perform the songs from his latest album, The Bachelor, and songs from his catalogue as they were originally intended to be heard with a live string section, and gospel choir.

With great excitement, Patrick released the following comments on the announcement:

"It is a total honour that I am able to duet with the legendary singer-songwriter, Marc Almond. To me, he is one of the most genius brave and passionate renaissance artists of the last three decades, a total inspiration. He has explored music from Russian folk to Gypsy to being a complete original electronic pop star in his work with Soft Cell. I met Marc totally randomly last summer whilst finishing off "The Bachelor", he was moving into the house next door to mine and we bumped into each other on the street, me coming home with my groceries and him moving his furniture in. We hit it off immediately and he has since been a big support and encouragement to me over the last year. With Marc's amazing new album "Orpheus in Exile" just released and me closing "The Bachelor" album tour in the U.K at the Palladium, it seems perfect for our paths to cross now on-stage. We will be doing two songs together.. but time will tell what they may be. Hopefully one from each of our own songbooks.

The other fantastic guest will be Alec Empire, flying in from Berlin, we are still preparing our collaboration on the night but it will definitely be a live continuation of the work we have done together over the last two years, representing our co-writes and production on "The Bachelor" and perhaps one of the forthcoming songs from my next album "The Conqueror". To me, Alec is one of the seminal revolutionary beat makers and noise makers around and as always it blows my mind to think we are working together now, when I think back to sneaking in with a fake ID to the London Astoria to see Atari Teenage Riot play, aged 14."

In what is sure to be an exceptional evening, The Palladium date will act as the perfect celebration for Patrick and the fans that have helped support the campaign.
