Niall Doherty It’s a mild Saturday evening in early November and South Kensington is a scene of hushed tranquillity. Like the rest of the U.K., this plush corner of West London is back in pandemic-enforced lockdown.

A man walks his dog in an otherwise empty street. A gabble of Deliveroo drivers loiter silently outside a takeaway. There’s nothing here to write home about.But inside the Royal Albert Hall, there’s a hive of activity.

Tonight, ex-One Direction member Niall Horan is performing at the stately venue, which normally hosts everything from the BAFTA Awards to the BBC Proms, for an audience-less live-stream that will be beamed around the globe to four different time zones.
