Patrick Wolf has revealed that punk legend Patti Smith is set to appear on his next album, the follow up to ‘The Magic Position’.

Posting on his myspace blog the singer-songwriter described how he had played an impromptu gig with Smith at the weekend and things lead on from there.

He wrote: "Patti Smith and I met on the stairs at Hurst House, and we ended up playing three songs together on the Saturday night.

"Patti and I will be making some music together very soon. On Monday she taught me a melody she wrote about a three legged dog. We have still to work the song out to full completion.

"Soon we will be recording a little moment for the next album. I'm very excited about getting to the end of the three legged dog song though too. She told me that we have a good future together and how can I not agree."
