No not shopping/shoplifting. But at one point he does jokingly tell everyone to grab a bag and start shoplifting during one of his songs in his mini instore gig at Selfridges to celebrate the store existing for quite a long time.

Fortunately this is an instore so I can keep it simple, he comes in donned in a black shirt with braces and leather pants and starts playing a nice relaxing tune on the piano to get people going. He was told by the store that he should start off gently so people aren’t too overwhelmed by OBLIVION (hehe). Here’s him playing Bluebells:

The show was filled with familar faces, many of which were from the Heaven gig, this included photographers as well (well, at the Electric Ballroom gig, but ssh otherwise we’ll create a time paradox). It appears that Patric has quite a loyal following who you’ll not fail to recognise at each show (again, ssh time paradox). He played a few songs from his upcoming album (well, it’s out now) The Bachelor including Oblivion, Hard Times and Damaris, here’s a video of Hard Times:

I can’t stop comparing the violin part is the same melody for Stop the Pigeon! Patrick found performing at such a brightly lit store surreal due to the fact that he’s used to dark venues with epic lights. I kinda like it, mainly for photos, here’s a photo

Patrick ends with Accident & Emergency but before starting (well, he did start it at first but told people to stop) he made a quick speech celebrating his father’s 60th birthday which you can view here (so much easier explaining with videos):

Now on with the final song, Accident & Emergency, this is where he tells people to start shoplifting (I feel silly telling you this when you’re about to watch it) It ends with a really nice cover of a popular artist. He managed to actually do 2 mini micro song clips from that one artist too. So yeah, enjoy the video, thats about it, I loved the show, it was nice and yellow instead of dark and filled with harsh red or blue lights During the show he needed a plectrum which I was able to supply him with, at the end of the show I managed to get it back (wet from when he had it in his mouth) and the roadie guy gave me a broken mic stand too for lending him it, I later on gave this to another Patrick Wolf fan, good times.

You’ll notice i’m on a blogging roll atm so yeah, quick posts…
