    The band Kneecap performing live on stage at St Luke's. The stage is illuminated by intense red lighting and heavy atmospheric smoke. In the background, a large, illuminated stained glass window is flanked by a pipe organ on the left and a balcony with audience members on the right. On stage, a DJ stands behind a desk on the left, while two vocalists are at the front; one in a hooded jacket and sunglasses gestures outwards, and the other stands to the right in dark clothing holding a microphone.
