It is pure joy to share that our feature film 'WOLF' will be having its world premiere at @sheffdocfest in the International First Feature Competition.

Narrated through a deeply personal conversation with longtime friend Tilda Swinton, ‘WOLF’ traces the extraordinary life and battles of musician @patrickwolf.

Telling Patrick’s story has been one of the most rewarding creative journeys of my life. One that began for me as a teenager, running around London finding music and myself – I can’t wait to finally share this brave and defiant tale with the world.

Thrilled to also announce that behind the film’s soundtrack will be the brilliant Oscar-nominated Owen Pallett (@hepostsclouds), combining both original score and a unique selection of Patrick’s work, rearranged and reimagined for the film.

Written, Produced & Directed by Christian Cargill.
Exec Produced by @hannahbushbailey & Tilda Swinton.
Produced by Lucy Draper. Edited by @kev.corry.
A @dalmatianfilms Production.

From Patrick;
“I thought completion of this film would be a sense of my life flashing before my eyes, but instead, it allowed me to firmly close the hardback of the first book of my life and work that christian has so carefully bound and written over the last few years. Now with its British premiere at Sheffield Docfest, a further liberating process begins knowing christian’s film now starts navigating its way to those who need it, in service or inspiration, of or for what exactly I’m not aware of just yet, but somehow I’m hoping the film turns out not to be about me after all, it’s about you out at sea, or you stepping back to life on your wounded foot first or you at the beginning of your great adventure wondering how to stay in wonder, or most importantly, how not to.

Over these years of being documented in this film, it has been nothing but a great honour to have had my story in the hands of Christian, my music in the hands of Owen and my hand in the hand of Tilda and now we hand it over, to you.”

‘WOLF’

It's my thrill to announce part one of my "Tour Of The Beast" - this June, returning to America and for the first time since 2009, making my way through the southern states driving East to West coast finishing up with a special show on my birthday in Los Angeles on the 30th of June. I cannot wait to bring the beast your way this summer

These are all standing shows where I'll be throwing you one of my more high octane nights of music, the tour will coincide with the release of two new songs, this tour and those songs are all part of a project that exists in a valley of fable, fairytale and fantasmagoria between the album just passed and the one on it's way... more of all this to be revealed soon, but for now tickets are on-sale, head to the link in bio
for this tour we have had tostreamline and organise the meet and greet formally to make sure it can happen every night this time, I know it's a new thing for me to do and for you, but changes had to be made in order to keep the night running smoothly and all crew and venues time respected. I've prepared a limited signed and numbered print of a painting, for all those who can make it to those little gatherings and pack downs.

The setlist is to be completely new to last years tour.. perhaps you can begin to imagine where it might take us with the back catalogue.. feel free to get your requests in now..
meet me there dear creature, out on the wilderness road!

Invert Folk Club poster hand water-coloured by patrick wolf and Sophie Crawford

“the legendary singer songwriter and musician Patrick Wolf has invited his band mate Sophie Crawford, the co-founder of the Queer Folk project to his home on the Isle of Thanet this August the 8thto curate for Margate Pride a one off evening of folk music performed completely acoustically, without amplification in the beautiful Ark venue, Cliftonville, Margate’s old synagogue. Wolf and Crawford will be performing a double act concert accompanying each other on their own songs, duetting and taking the extremely intimate audience of 120 on an inverted adventure through the folk standards that have shaped and accompanied them through their work. They have selected the brilliant @selkieskiss a queer riot of free-folk music, playing music influenced by the traditions of Britian, Ireland and Scandinavia to open the “Invert Folk Club”, filling the Ark with fiddles, Bodhran and mandolin alongside Crawfords accordion, Clog Dancing, Patrick Wolfs Viola, Kantale, Harp, Harpsichord, Guitar, Flute Organ and if we are very lucky, a moment of double appalachian mountain dulcimer between our curators of the club”

finished up todays weeding to issue you a red alert…

@josephwilsonfilms

it’s quite unbelievable to me I’ll be driving into Nashville with my songs and instruments for the first time in a matter of weeks, a complete honor to play @3rdandlindsley in such a heroic musical city

here is a little of a song from 1958 that means an awful lot to me “the wilderness road” by the great Jimmy Driftwood, I would listen to this song nearly everyday in the bath throughout my bankruptcy proceedings, I really never thought I may reach the Tennessee of this song one day, let alone with my music, what a wonderful twist of fate

Two weeks ‘til I get on the plane to D.C to pick up my American piano + equipment from where they’ve been sleeping in storage since November + I thought to share with you the pool of songs I’ve been preparing for the tour ahead.

Those who know, know every night of tour is a different setlist, I channel for you on a night by night basis,so these days I just rehearse, remix + prepare programming / beats for a “song list” - so, here is the one for the tour of the beast

Some of these songs for this tour haven’t been heard in their original energy, drive +production for many years.. and too there is a lot of reprogramming underway with my new electronic setup for the beast this tour will be, ignited by the two new songs that are on their way to you soon. Whatever this songlist gets turned into each night, the set will stand at its traditional 2 hours length, including encore (if I deserve one) as no matter where I go, I will only ever odyssey 4 u

There is of course always space for a song request of burning desire, tell me, is there a glaring omission in this songlist I must prepare for? If there’s a fire in your head ill do my best to put it out, just say, but most importantly you have to meet me there to do so..

It’s a pleasure to invite the singer songwriter @julianunesmusic as the opener from Texas onward, cutting the ribbon of the night of the beast with her enchanting song

ticket links.. you know where to find them by now ⬆️

“The Cuckoo” is an Appalachian folk song from North Carolina where soon, in Raleigh I’ll be bringing my music to for the first time since 2009, a matter of weeks now.. a homecoming for my old steed of a black Appalachian mountain dulcimer too who I’m sure will sing out just that little differently to be for the first time playing in his homeland.

I actually first learnt this song from a little chap book of folk songs from Tennessee that arrived from there with my first dulcimer I bought for wind in the wires, Tennessee is where I’ll be heading to play for my first ever concert in Nashville @3rdandlindsley after night two @thepourhouse

so thrilled to kick off the tour of the beast at @dc9club in Washington DC on the 5th of June

when I think of DC, musically, I will always think of two bands, Fugazi and The Makeup - both a glorious part of the soundtrack of my upbringing. Ive started to learn as I rehearse this month, some of the songs of the cities or states this tour will take me, perhaps to drop into the city’s set, or just connect deeper in song to where I’m going… so, here is a minute of Fugazi’s “I’m so tired” on my dulcitone

If you want I’ll next post the North Carolina song I’ve always adored, the state I haven’t played in since 2009 and that I’ll be driving to after my DC show at @dc9club

meet me there?
