That’s how you command the Royal Albert Hall.\n\nWe were treated to new songs Hit the Sky and Gospel Oak entwined with a stirring set piece of trad songs after Ellie invited friends onto the stage to perform.\n\nWolf Alice’s Ellie Roswell and Joff Oddie during their Royal Albert Hall show (Picture: Jonathan Brady/PA Wire)\n\nIt was an emotional moment for Ellie, who joined them by playing the flute and tin whistle. She appeared to become overwhelmed and was given a loving embrace by Theo and guitarist Joff Oddie.\n\nIt was evident throughout how much headlining the Royal Albert Hall meant to them.\n\nThis is a band who’s risen through the grassroots scene to headlining festivals and arenas. Their journey remains at their core, with Ellie using their winner’s platform at the Brits to shine a light on the plight facing the UK’s independent scene.\n\nThe night’s emotion was captured none more so than Theo, who told the crowd when introducing Bros: ‘It’s terrible how much I wanna cry during this gig. It must be this gaff – it’s very nice.\n\n‘This song is about friendship. Look at each other, love each other, hug each other, celebrate each other. It’s the best thing having a good mate.’\n\nThe night was perfectly rounded off with the epic Bloom Baby Bloom followed by an encore of the mind blowing, organ-backed The Last Man on Earth – performed by just Ellie and Ryan Malcolm on keys – and long-time fan-favourite Don’t Delete the Kisses.\n\nWolf Alice provided the perfect finale to a brilliant week-long celebration for a vital cause.\n\nAre they the best band in Britain? You bet.\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
