Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Alex Neilson & Harem Scarem: Live, Queen's Hall, Edinburgh, 12 Apr 2006 (BBC Radio Scotland FM Broadcast)
Guaranteed to blow your mind as much as it blew mine, here's the epochal Bonnie "Prince" Billy in concert last year in Edinburgh, Scotland. BPB is joined by drummer Alex Neilson and Scottish folk/roots quintet, Harem Scarem (not to be confused by the Canadian Rock Band of the same name). Harem Scarem provide backing vocals and add a fantastic atmosphere to even those songs we swear by their original versions (e.g. I See A Darkness). This is the show as broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland, and this set raises the bar as far as live shows are concerned. Worthy of release as a live EP.Read all about the show here.

Hi there - I'm having poblems picking up those links could you please check if they are still okay.
I'd really like to hear this - i missed this gig unfortunately ... However i saw him last week in Glasgow supporting Nuala Kennedys band at Celtic Connections. My mate saw him with his band in Manchester last week and really enjoyed it.
Thanks for posting this - and I'll check back to try and pick this up later. Great blog - keep up the good work.
Cheers

Hi Fanclub Fan,
Links on KNK are now removed three days after they are posted. This helps conserve bandwidth, which I pay for. Sorry.
Aw man - I'm only one day late - I can't believe that ... !!! Is there any chance at all that you would consider a re-post ( I'd really, really like to hear that gig - I'm a big fan of Bonnie Prince Billy ? )
Please, pretty please, pretty please with bells on ...
t.f.f
Any chance of these being reposted at all? I'm a huge fan of Will Oldham, and this is great stuff. You can still listen on the hype machine, but not download.

"My Home is the Sea." It's from Superwolf-Superwolf (Will Oldham & Matt Sweeney) a fantastic album released in early 2005 (or late '04).
