If you were not lucky enough to get tickets, the BBC have confirmed they will be airing doves performance at Electric Proms with the London Bulgarian Choir on 6 Music.
Also performing on the night with doves will be Baluji Shrivastav, who played on the Kingdom Of Rust track Birds Flew Backwards.
Looking forward to hearing a new twist on the songs. You can imagine tracks such as Shadows Of Salford, Spellbound, The Sulphur Man & Satellites sounding great live with a choir. Not so easy to imagine tracks like Pounding with a choir. Should be a great night.
Marc Riley broke the news last night that Doves will be joined by Manchester legends Magazine at the Electric Proms Roundhouse show. Does it get much better than that?!
The BBC officially announced today doves will be part of the Electric Proms line-up this year.
Doves will play the London Roundhouse October 22nd. Tickets on sale tomorrow. Press waffle:
Choral arranger Avshalom Caspi will re-work Doves music, altering the arrangements for the 40-strong London Bulgarian choir at London’s Roundhouse on 22 October.
The band will also be joined by North Indian classical musician Baluji Shrivastav, who played on the album track Birds Flew Backwards.
“It is going to be really special,” said frontman Jimi Goodwin, adding: “The voices of the London Bulgarian Choir are just unbelievable, and it is brilliant just to get the chance to play the songs differently for the Roundhouse audience.”
Buy Tickets from this link tomorrow morning at 8am. The show will be broadcast on both BBC TV & Radio. More details as I have it.
