28 November, 2013: London Grammar return home for their second astounding sold-out show at the Brixton Electric in as many months. See our brilliant and exclusive photos of the gig here.
The anticipation for London Grammar to emerge is felt throughout the venue in South London. With many a young-professional waiting to be impressed, it is safe to say by the time the trio exit the stage they have delivered a stunning performance that leaves everyone in attendance wanting so much more from a band oozing unrivalled levels of talent.
Despite admitting early nerves, singer Hannah Reid and co set the bar very high with exquisite ‘Hey Now’ opening the show. With very little said early on it takes a marriage proposal from a half naked man to spark the atmosphere in the room. “Oh no there is a man with his shirt off asking me to marry him” exclaims Reid. After politely declining from there on out after such an impressive start it is startling to think that if anything London Grammar raise the bar even higher, showing how confident they’ve become.
