Photos Emeli Sande Royal Albert Hall

It was my huge honour and privilege to take photos of Emeli Sande at her Albert Hall concert this November. I have followed her career in music since 2007 and I have met her at her King Tuts gig, so I knew how much it all meant to her. It was a very special day for me too!  I never thought I’d go to this iconic venue never mind take photos there. I can’t really begin to say what that meant for me. 
Emeli has had the top selling album of 2012. 
Some days are extraordinary days.

Royal Albert Hall

I’ve seen the Albert hall on tv with the Prom nights and for Adele’s triumphant concert there in 2011, and I never imagined myself going to a concert there. It feels very strange to be in such an iconic venue.  I took in the images on the walls – in particular one memorable image of Frank Sinatra as he waved to his enthralled audience, taken from the stage by photographer David Redfern, I was in awe!. I will never forget ascending the narrow steps that entered the arena the theatre’s red and gold lights shimmered above us, where there were the shadow outlines of people on the tiered circle galleries as spotlights hovered and I feel I have now entered a realm of fantasy, folklore, mystique and hidden memories..the knowing that dreams can come true and Sande’s songs of hope.   

Emeli Sande Clyde Auditorium

As her Our Version of Events has gone double platinum and the top selling album of the year in 2012, Emeli (once known as Adele) took to the Auditorium stage as if wrapped in a golden glow from her massive debut year and as if she cant’ quite believe it!  In July she sang the haunting Welsh song Abide With Me at the Olympic ceremonies London
