Edwyn Collins is the latest addition to this month’s Electric Proms biil.
The former Orange Juice singer will play Camden’s Dingwalls venue on October 28.
Thie show will be Collin’s first show in three years after suffering two cerebral haemorrhages in 2005. He underwent successful surgery and has since been on a path of rehabilitation.
His new album ‘Home Again’ was recorded prior to his surgery, and he will be playing material from that as well as from his back catalogue.
Tickets for the gig went on sale this morning (October 10).
Collins joins the likes of Paul McCartney, Bloc Party, Kaiser Chiefs and Ray Davies, at the five day festival of music.
