In Photos: Alela Diane @ St. Pancras Old Church, London (06.10.11)

There's intimate, and then there's an Alela Diane gig in a London church that's believed to date back to the 4th century. The Portland-based singer – who earlier this year signed to Rough Trade for her third LP, April's Alela Diane & Wild Divine – counts both her husband and father as guitarists in her backing band. Add to that cosy little arrangement the fact that Diane's deftly-crafted brand of elemental folk has the ability to cut through the night air and stop you in your tracks, and you've got one hell of an atmospheric show.

So you can forgive our photographer Richard Gray for not wanting to intrude too much last week. The handful of shots he did manage to capture, though, bear witness to what was a special evening in a truly enchanting venue.
