Nice. The whole event was very well put together and there were so many different types of artists. The first half was amazing, but I was stressed out for the half an hour before Patrick came on stage in the second half because we had to catch a train. It all worked out well though and he sang the Coventry Carol, a new song of his called Olympia and another song. We left after he sang but we probably only missed Jarvis Cocker. Patrick was wearing white trousers, a white shirt and a black cardigan I think and he told us a story about how he farted on stage once just before a big performance. All in all, it was a great day, but I don't think my mind appreciates how good it was yet.

It was rather good
He played a newer version of peacock skyes and covered river
And everyone came back for the finale of faitytale of new york
Got loads of photos although we had to shoot from a booth miles back so no close ups
He was kind enough up pose for photos at the aftershow as well
Btw if he ever reads it -apologies for the random ranting disguised as conversation

I think olympia might be the newer peacock skies
I'll have to have a proper listen as I wasn't paying 100%attention while trying to do photos too

After Patrick Wolf was on, Jarvis Cocker came on and sang God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and a song he wrote called 'Slush', it was all in all very surreal. A couple of artists that weren't on the program then sang and it livened up a bit.
When it finished everyone began to leave, and someone shouted 'no, don't go now! GET BACK IN YOUR SEATS!' and all of the artists came back onstage for a lovely rendition of FONY.
Then it really ended.

I was also there but I was sitting further to the right. I was thus a bit disappointed when he went to the piano after the first song. Luckily, he's so huge so that I could occasionally see his hair.  It's good to see the other side now. Thanks for the great videos! |

^ There's a bit at the top with three letters, you type them into the box and click download, and then you have to wait 45 seconds and a link comes up at the bottom. Thanks for the videos, verocs, and for the mp3s allanah  |

i managed to blag an aftershow pass with my photopass so I asked him if I could take some photos and he said yes he is such a poser in the best possible meaning of the word I just had the point the camera at him and he did all the rest |
