Doves are first act announced for BBC Electric Proms
a special collaboration with The London Bulgarian Choir
Tuesday 15th September 2009

Doves are the first act to be announced for this year's BBC Electric Proms.

The band will present a special concert of their hits in a special collaboration with The London Bulgarian Choir composed and arranged by Avshalom Caspi on Thursday 22nd October at The Roundhouse in London.

Doves' front man Jimi Goodwin said, "We're really excited about playing at the BBC Electric Proms. 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. It is going to be really special."

Choral arranger Avshalom Caspi has been specially commissioned to reinterpret a number of Doves tracks for the 40-strong choir. In addition, Doves will be joined onstage by celebrated North Indian classical musician Baluji Shrivastav who played on the album track Birds Flew Backwards.

The BBC Electric Proms festival will take place from Tuesday 20th to Saturday 24th of October 2009 at The Roundhouse and various venues around Camden, London. The idea for this event is to allow artists to perform something a bit different, whether it be a performance of rare tracks, a unique collaboration or a cross bridging of genres.

Ticket prices are expected to be announced shortly and eFestivals will update this page with ticket information, they will be available to buy from tomorrow.

Enjoy your weekends Smile

Setlist moved around a bit. they started off with Winter Hill, Last Broadcast found its way back in, they did Cedar Room at the end of the main set as well. But no real surprises, the set did feel a bit disjointed and there wasn't as much Kingdom of Rust as we expected. An hour only for the main set. Interesting venue, can't make out whether I liked it or not, stage wasn't high enough, but easy to get served.

It was a good gig not OH MY GOSH, just ok....I am hoping the Bulgarian Choir might help me lift my Doves spirits....

Subject: Re: Doves Sat 17 Oct 2009, 10:00

Doves are on BBC2 from the Roundhouse at 11.20 on Thursday night.

Subject: Re: Doves Thu 22 Oct 2009, 20:39

What an incredible combination, Doves with that particular choir, am listening on the radio live now, sounds great, and will definitely watch the TV coverage later.

Subject: Re: Doves Fri 23 Oct 2009, 08:19

The setlist went something like this, from memory:
Snowden
Winter Hill
Firesuite
10:03
Pounding
Jetstream
The Storm
Black & White Town
Sea Song
Greatest Denier
Kingdom of Rust
Last Broadcast
Catch The Sun
Birds Flew Backwards (with Baluji Shrivastav)
Cedar Room
There goes the Fear

It was great. However, the choir weren't involved as much as I thought they would be.
10:03 was particularly beautiful as was Birds Flew Backwards.
I love the Electric Proms and The Roundhouse, If only I had tickets for Mr Hawley....

Yes, I thought that, when they didn't even feature till 'firesuite' and when jimi was doing the last notes of the last song, If I'm remembering correctly, from the telly I thought they could have harmonised with him.

the TV broadcast wasn't the whole set. Don't know if the red button will be more? I think the radio probably was, thats without checking whats on iplayer now.

Subject: Re: Doves Fri 23 Oct 2009, 22:28

the red button was everything except the sea and the choir singing. but they put black and white town at the start for some unknown reason
