About this event
Let Me In are back, returning on a UK Cathedral (and Minster..!) tour after a sell-out, acclaimed tour in 2024.
Lose yourself in this sonically spectacular celebration of Radiohead’s vast and ever-expanding universe of music – including hits and hidden gems from their 30 years in the spotlight from albums such as OK Computer, In Rainbows and The Bends.
A full live band, with vocalists, accompanied by the nationally renowned Mike Nowland String Quartet, will transport you on an epic journey through the bestselling band’s back catalogue within the stunning surroundings of St Edmundsbury Cathedral, for a special show of live music you will never forget.
The setlist will collate a detailed selection of hits and lesser known gems from all of Radiohead’s nine albums to date, and will have something for everyone as we venture from 90s maudlin rockers to bombastic sonic landscapes in what is guaranteed to be a sensory experience like no other.
Your band for the evening will be fronted by Christopher Buckle, and will include local musicians and Radiohead lovers – Alfie Woods, Bruce Higgs, Daniel Anketell, Josh Semans, Lydia Karaviotis and Musical Director – Ewan Steady. The band will be accompanied by very special guests and nationally renowned string players – Mike Nowland, Mathias Svensson, Caroline Boddimead and Hannah Paterson.

About the Venue
For over 1,000 years, the site of Suffolk ’s Cathedral has been one of worship and pilgrimage.
The death of Edmund, King of the East Angles, at the hands of the Danes in 869 led to the building of an abbey to house his remains. St James’s Church was built within the precincts of the Abbey, becoming a Cathedral in 1914. The Cathedral building has continued to develop over recent years with the addition of the Millennium Tower, completed in 2005, and its magnificent painted and gilded vault, added in 2010. In 2009 the Cathedral changed its dedication to become the Cathedral Church of St James and St Edmund.
Visitors are welcome to look around the Cathedral on their own. Entry is free but donations gratefully received. A free introductory leaflet is available in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Polish. Visitors are most welcome to attend any of the daily services.
Guided Tours of the Cathedral run Monday to Saturday at 11am from the font from April to October. Tickets can be purchased at the Cathedral Shop. Occasionally a tour may have to be cancelled if another event is taking place in the Cathedral. If you are travelling some distance, please do ring the Cathedral office to check. These tours last approx 1 hour and cost £6 per person (under 16s free).

Cathedral Lego Project - St Edmundsbury Cathedral has launched an ambitious project to recreate the Cathedral out of 200,000 LEGO bricks!

The Ancient Library - The Ancient Library was founded by Dr Miles Mosse in 1595 as a resource for clergy training. There are over 550 books, mainly printed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The library, in a room over the north-west porch designed by Stephen Dykes Bower in 1960, has bookcases made by Leonard Goff in 2004.
