from the cornish waters of the Atlantic of 2005's "Wind in the Wires" cyclically flowing into the North Sea bringing his last albums songs such as "Reculver" and "Foreland" home to the Isle of Thanet where they were written.
Patrick will be playing Harpsichord, Celtic Harp, Dulcitone, Viola and Dulcimer completely acoustically
in the beautiful old synagogue venue of Ark Cliftonville, with an opening set by Queer Folk group "Selkies Kiss:"

Patrick Wolf made his debut with the album “Lycanthropy” which was released on July 28th 2003, but unfortunately it didn’t chart. He also released another full-length album that didn’t chart called “Wind in the Wires”. Both albums showed many signs of Wolf’s growth as a musician, seeing him grow into the musician that he would become.
In 2005, he signed a new record deal with Loog, and started to record his third album, “The Magic Position”. The album was released on February 26th 2007, and made it to number 46 in the UK chart. It was written at the end of a long-term relationship. After the release of the album, Wolf embarked on an international tour, visiting Europe, Japan, Australia and North America. It also included two sold out shows at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire.
“The Bachelor” was Wolf’s following album, released on June 1st 2009 that charted at number 49 in the UK Albums Chart. He offered penny stocks to fans where they would invest £10 and own a percentage of the royalties of the album. Following the usual routine of tours around similar countries that he had visited before, Wolf released “Lupercalia”, his first studio album on Mercury Records, on June 20th 2011. The album went to number 37 in the UK Albums Chart and number 47 in Austria.
Wolf released his fifth studio album “Sundark and Riverlight” on October 15th 2012. It was released as a two-disc saga, each one containing 8 songs. It was a double album that marked ten years since his debut album, Lycanthropy. It featured some reworks of his older material such as remixes and acoustic versions of songs.
Patrick Wolf's shows are amazing, and you'll rarely if ever see the same show twice -- even if you're seeing him back to back at the same venue, as he hand-curates his set list from his huge discography thoroughly.
If you don't know him, his genre can be a little hard to pin down. Patrick Wolf is a classically-trained violinist who started a punk zine when he was a teenager and put out his first album not long afterward: he's based in both folk and punk traditions, and is an instrumentalist who hops easily between synth and floor harp, ukelele and violin. Celtic reels weave into angry love songs, synth brightens a revolution, harp turns a pop love song into a soundtrack. His recent music has been more solidly 'pop' but it would be a mistake to simply categorize it this way.
The experience can vary quite a bit, depending on if you're catching him playing a fully electric/acoustic show or a small stripped-down acoustic gig. I've seen both. Both almost always seem intimate: he jokes with the audience, with his fellow musicians on stage, tells stories, and you can feel for a bit as if you're the friend of this multi-instrumentalist (even afterward, when he usually will hang around to say hello to devoted fans). If I had anything bad to say about it, it's that he knows his own flaws too well, so occasionally he'll interrupt himself to apologize for something the audience hasn't caught.
There's a little more room for theatricality in a big stage and Patrick does not disappoint in this regard - everything from stage presence to costuming makes this a theater experience as much as a show. A good portion of the audience will be covered in glitter and more than likely Patrick will be too at some point (though, maybe a little more subdued as of late...which is not to say at all subdued). At a smaller venue, some of this is of course condensed, but the unique atmosphere is incredibly worth it to hear his lyrically incredible songs close up and rearranged.
I am definitely gushing, but there's a reason that I jumped on a megabus to see three of his shows back to back - and, on what was also a romantic vacation to the UK, took a couple-hours train to Brighton to barely eat before standing in line in the rain with my partner for the Patrick Wolf gig and then upon heading back immediately got in line for the London show. His shows are amazing and should not be missed, and so is his music.
