?Last night (Wednesday 15 June) saw Brit nominated band Guillemots open the Station Sessions Festival at St Pancras International with a roaring set.
The band rocked a fantastic crowd of commuters, music fans and station visitors under the station's iconic glass roof, which makes Station Sessions the only all-weather festival in the UK.
Guillemots' storming performance marked the start of the six week festival, which continues today (Thursday 16 June) with the Ivor Novello nominated Nerina Pallot performing on the main stage at 6pm. Her set at Station Sessions kicks starts her solo mini tour.
Over the summer, the festival will see a number of big names and emerging talent playing across the station, on the main stage in The Arcade and at fringe stages at the Betjeman Arms, Searcys St Pancras Grand and Champagne Bar and Sourced Market. Highlights coming up include Kids in Glass Houses, Stealing Sheep, Crowns and Emily in The Woods.
Throughout the festival money is being raised for The Prince's Trust.
