In Photos: The Tallest Man On Earth + Francis @ O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, London (19.05.11)

The always-snappable Kristian Matsson (we photographed him live last year in both Dublin and London) returned to the English capital last week for his biggest UK show yet at the city's famed Shepherd's Bush Empire. From the moment the Swede – better known, of course, as The Tallest Man On Earth – scuttled out onstage and hopped into the pit to hug a random fan, we knew we were onto a(nother) winner.
 
Delivering a beautiful set that liberally mixed older tracks with new material, Matsson proved the intimacy of his early shows could be translated to a larger venue. Anni Timms was there for us on the night – to view a slideshow of her photos (including a few of Matsson's compatriot Francis in support), just click on any of the thumbnails below:
