Moscow / St.Petersburg (8th & 9th Dec)

[jaqkvade]

I'll be on both, so i (or maybe someone else from Russia) will post here how it was, pictures, set-list etc.

...and it seems that there will not be meet and greet - noone got answer with instructions or ticket to such meet and there's less than two weeks left...

[tara]

Actually, for Paris, I got the instruction for the meet and greet less than one week before the show so there's still hope!

Have fun at the gigs (2 in a row, lucky you!)

[jaqkvade]

Wow, thank you for this information! Now i have hope to get instruction again

Didn't Patrick mention that he is still finishing the lyrics to Wild Life on Twitter? Maybe we will get another EP.

I remember hearing wildlife when you were in Australia, any plans to ever release it?” the lyrics are taking forever to finish!

[catwolf]

I saw that as well... i really hope all these songs get released, i love Wild Life so much!!!

There wasn't official meet + greet (even he wrote that it's going to be in Moscow) but he came to the fans after St.Petersburg show and we talked, took group photo!!

Moscow show started with a beautiful Pigeon Song. Then was problems with ukulele, then discord with the violin. Then he picked up his ukulele and once again frustrated (although I swear a great Gypsy King turns out) throws it on the floor. I was sure that now turn around and leaves the scene. Then a few surprises - Wolf Song, Bitten, Days. After that, everything went like clockwork. And although it was more than half of the concert, and seemed to remain quite low, Patrick finally roused. He danced hopak (russian dance), saying so many russian words and sentences!Great peech after Bermondsey Street.

On the railway station in Moscow i saw this big bright company. I went to Patrick and ask «Patrick?». He turns and looks at me, and probably realized that a fan in front of him. I'm immediately pull out album with drawings. Well I thought about it first thing. He thanked and said that remembers me from the concert. "You've got a shirt with buttons, was not it?" I explain that I had come from Ukraine and for tomorrow's concert too. He was really surprised:) "Can I take a picture?" i asked. He smiled and said he don't look good. «You're amazing, as always!»- i said. And the main thing - that his unforgettable laugh «Ahah, thank you!» (I remember that smile and intonation). We embrace and stand. Patrick crowd his "Can someone take a picture of us?», But nobody responds. Then fit a Russian escort, photographing a couple of times. I tell Patrick that I have here is the application. Pull out, unfold, he groans. He sais that if I go to a concert tomorrow, then tomorrow must i give it to him. «During House?». «Yeah!». Patrick says "See U 2morrow".

Cosmonaut - club. First row.
The first or second song, I understand that everything just perfect. Nobody pushes around me in a radius of 10 cm void, the sound is excellent, everything just fine. Perfect set list. then starts House, i've pulled out application and began to wave, he came at the end took it from me, twice said thanks, smiled sweetly.Her bed at keyboard, pressed with a vase of roses. Then, when he went to the same roses handed out in topu, right on the edge of the stage and pulls me one. I took it, then decided to give it back when going down to all Together. It was a beautiful Halcyon. Just could not believe my ears. A Blackdown! I started to shake. And then for him and Tinderbox, which this time I snuck down to the bone and almost burst into tears even. Insanely beautiful high-quality, energetic performance. Patrick was very close to the hall, a lot of jokes, smiles, funny, every time. The crowd multiplied and returned power back to him:)
After the concert, waited until thePatrick snatched setlist, took autographs Ben and Jonathan. Then PW appears. He saw me when I reached the setlist starts to sign, I look - and he writes my name and did not even ask! Everyone was asking how to write, but my album is already memorized my name to him <3 "thank you for the album, I keep such things, thank you!", I told him thank you for the concert, said that it was icredible, said a special thank you for Halcyon. Then I remembered about the notebook i bought for him, signed and handed over to him.
Incredible emotion, do not pass all the same anyway. The best day of my life officially!
He said he's working on some new exciting project!
