John Cale, Nick Cave and Chrissie Hynde Songwriters Circle 1999

Recorded live for the “Songwriters Circle” program at the Subterania Club, London UK, May 12, 1999. Broadcasted by the BBC september 7, 1999.

The concept of this programme was having 3 singer songwriters meeting up only 1 hour before and to come up with a 1 hour acoustic set for filming.

Good songs, great writers and very fine performances!

It also exists as an audio bootleg. This also contains the rehearsal track Ship of Fools, but no I’m Waiting For The Man.
