Patrick Wolf @ London Palladium On November 15, 2009

LONDON, UK (Top40 Charts/ Bloody Chamber Music) - Patrick Wolf's triumphant year continues with the announcement of a command performance at the 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.

There will also be some very special guests to be announced over the forthcoming weeks.

An unusual but fateful choice of venue, as Patrick explains: 'I was in New York at a photo shoot, still undecided about which venue to play my ultimate fantasy show for this album. It was between The London Palladium and The Theatre Royal, so I sit down for a burrito in the studio cafe and from behind me in walks Whoopi Goldberg and gives me a hug! Seeing as the Palladium was the chosen venue for her latest 'Sister Act', I thought it pretty obvious what the stars were telling me. The Palladium is the perfect venue to debut 'The Bachelor' with string section and gospel choir, to hear the songs in their original arrangements live. This will also be a moment for me to document my work from the last three albums and bring a third dimension to 'The Bachelor' live, sonically and visually. So, be prepared for a dark, magic trooper show with special guests and duettists, costume changes and all for one night only.'

The Palladium date will act as the perfect celebration for Patrick and the fans that have helped support the campaign.
