Performance NotesAn icon of the 1960s, Scott Walker has travelled from Walker Brothers teen idol to avant-garde contemporary musician, influencing artists from David Bowie and Leonard Cohen to Goldfrapp along the way.

Tonight’s Late Night Prom tribute presents tracks from his four self-titled albums with live orchestral backing for the very first time. Among the special guests are Jarvis Cocker and John Grant. There was no interval.

Scott Walker attended the concert.

The concert was broadcast on BBC Four on 28 July 2017.
