Live at the Â鶹Éç Proms: Â鶹Éç Concert Orchestra and conductor Simon Hale with singer Sam Smith perform their seminal debut solo album In the Lonely Hour.

In tracks such as ‘Stay With Me’, ‘Lay Me Down’ and other songs from Sam Smith’s later work, expect the singer’s unmatched voice and raw honesty to feature front and centre.
