If you're easily offended by strong language (especially the F-word) it's probably best to avoid this abrasive concert by Australian musician, songwriter, poet and author and occasional actor Nick Cave (pictured). For the rest of us, it's a tremendous gig as Cave leads his band the Bad Seeds through a storming set at LSO St Luke's in London.

As well as performing songs from his latest album Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!!, there are some old favourites, many requested by the audience, including Red Right Hand, a very moving God Is In The House and The Mercy Seat. Best of all, the show finishes with Stagger Lee. If you caught Cave on The White Room in the mid-90s performing this extraordinary piece, you'll know what to expect, and he doesn't disappoint here, either. Bring on The Bucket of Blood...

This programme is part of a Nick Cave Night on BBC Four. Other programmes to watch include Songwriters' Circle and Nick Cave on Later... With Jools Holland.
