The audience eagerly await Blanche in the moodily lit cavern of Dingwalls.

The stage is set. It's got to be Battles' gear. There's a solitary crash cymbal poking up like a bashful sunflower.

The Cecil Sharp house is packed to the gills in anticipation of an evening of Sigur Ros saturation.

Noel Gallagher joins the band on stage for 'In The Rain'. Surprised gasps and cheers from crowd.

Atlas is COLOSSAL. Tyondai is doing some interpretative dance shiznit... Battles are handing out grins to the front row.
20.19 from Cecil Sharp House
Aminna, string quartet join for 'Heima'. This drawn out tune is the signature of the night. It's a little bit Philip Glass, a little bit Michael Nyman. Lovely.
21.03 from KOKO
A string quartet.. No, no, a string 'trio' has come onstage. Confirmation: Editors have strings. Budget strings but strings nonetheless.
21.36 from Roundhouse
Mark Ronson is dressed in a dapper suit, the orchestra bods are all sporting bow-ties, will there ever be a better attired Electric Proms gig?

A dappled spotlight, a moody tune and Siouxsie Sioux. It's what goth dreams are made of!

Curlews sing through the mist during 'Heima'. Jonsi of Sigur Ros says of all the places in the whole world, he loves Iceland most.

Charlie Louvin is singing a goodbye song to a rapt crowd. What a star.
22.43 from Roundhouse
One more song. Mark and several of his special guests unite for The Beatles' 'We Can Work It Out', with a Stevie Wonder inspired funk touch.
