"...are going to collaborate on a live recording of Smith's 'The Coral Sea' - on September 12th at the South Bank Center in London.
The gig will be divided into two parts. The first half will be a combination of new songs, spoken word pieces and overdubs from Smith plus other musicians.
She will preview songs plus a new political piece dedicated to children of the Lebanon.
Shields will act as musical director in the second half, for a performance of 'The Coral Sea', Smith's tribute to the Photographer Robert Mapplethorpe." (as reported on the NME website)
Live event of the year I reckon.
Patti Smith and Kevin Shields!

Yeah i went along to that last year. At the end Patti smith had finished her vocals and went and sat with Kevin who was seated on a sofa playing guitar. And he was then playing solo. It was incredible. 'THAT' guitar sound.
