Platinum-selling artist Anne-Marie took over the Eden Sessions stage last night – and she brought the fire, both in energy and literally.

The Essex-born singer-songwriter, who is also a high-profile coach on the TV show The Voice UK, was the latest act in the 2023 line-up, bringing well known hits such as Ciao Adios and Kiss My (Uh Oh).

Pillars of fire whooshed into the night sky at various points, lighting up the fallen chandeliers that adorned the stage, along with one Miss Havisham-style cobweb-effected chandelier hanging in the centre.
