Bonnie 'Prince' Billy has announced a pair of London shows for the new year.

The bearded balladeer with a trail of broken hearts in his wake will perform at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on January 26 and 27; tickets are available now, for £22 a pop, from Ticketmaster (link).

Billy, aka Will Oldham, releases a new single, 'Cold And Wet', on November 13. It's taken from his acclaimed new album, The Letting Go, reviewed here.

The shows are Oldham's first major solo UK dates since the Green Man Festival in 2005.
