event description
Patrick, now age 24, grew up in South London and began refining his precocious talents at the age of eleven when he escaped from school troubles by late night experimentation in the corners of his bedroom with his violin, voice and car boot sale organs on a four-track tape recorder. Although beginning his musical education a few years before with rigorous violin lessons and church choirs, it wasn't until Patrick's obsession for early twentieth-century electronics - which lead to a study and construction of a Theremin - that Patrick really developed a strong ambition to create new and innovative music and that has power and emotion enough to communicate directly to the heart.

He released "Lycanthropy," which was released in the Summer of 2003, reaching no. 39 in the NME's top LPs of the year, no.39 in Logo Magazine's top LPs of the year, 41 in playlouder.com's LPs of the year. The Independent also named him one of the acts to watch in 2004 (along with Franz Ferdinand). His second LP Wind in the Wires received even more acclaim (including a 2 page 8/10 lead NME review, 8.2 review on Pitchfork and no 4 in playlouder.com's top 50). Patrick finished his third album The Magic Position on the 30th of June 2006 on his 23rd birthday and was released by UK indie label Loog, in cooperation with a worldwide deal through Polydor/Universal in the February of 2007.

Bishi will support Patrick Wolf at his performance.
