Music royalty was in the building, as The Smile played a mesmeric set to a sold out Great Hall on Saturday 23 March.
The Johnny Greenwood and Thom Yorke fronted vehicle took to the stage just before 9pm, playing a set showcasing tracks from new album Wall Of Eyes, interspersed amongst those from debut A Light for Attracting Attention.
It was a night of music from the very top drawer, see photos, setlist and reflections below:

And one more time seeing The Smile this week, a rammed and electric last night at @Yourallypally concluding this leg of their tour.
It is tough being a shortie at gigs! Better (albeit seated) view at Brighton: https://t.co/tlpbk8srl1#thesmile pic.twitter.com/7hMRYqMxNm— ReevaC (@LondonRaven64) March 24, 2024
