Kaiser Chiefs performed a rousing set tonight (October 26) at London's Roundhouse, backed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by David Arnold.
The group, who began their set with drummer Nick Hodgson performing a solo rendition of 'Boxing Champ', also paid tribute to Sir Paul McCartney - who performed at the venue last night (October 25) - by covering his Wings track 'Jet' .
Other special guests included The Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain on 'Ruby' and a group of master Indian drummers on 'The Angry Mob'.
Ricky Wilson was on energetic form throughout, at one point even making his way round the crowd to pour himself a pint at a bar, before introducing the band.
"Usually people in London are a bit standoffish," he told the crowd. "But you lot are alright!"
Kaiser Chiefs finished their set with an orchestra-led version of 'Land Of Hope And Glory' featuring all the night's special guests, as red balloons were dropped on the audience.
They played:
'Boxing Champ'
'Love's Not A Competition (But I'm Winning)'
'Modern Way'
'Everyday I Love You Less And Less'
'Thank You Very Much'
'Jet'
'I Can Do It Without You'
