There probably aren’t many places left where Thom York can go and not be mobbed by fans or media asking questions like “So do you like ‘Creep’ now?” But with a new Radiohead album and a summer tour just heating up, it’s nice to see that Thom can get some quiet time to play an acoustic solo show for some of his wealthy countryfolk. The intimate performance was first reported by a Reddit user who got a text from his father saying that he was “about to hear entertainment from neighbour Tom Yorke of Radiohead.”

The user’s father made the effort to find out that Yorke’s set included a pretty solid mix of Radiohead tunes like “Desert Island Disk,” “No Surprises,” “Street Spirit (Fade Out),” “I Might Be Wrong” and “Reckoner,” plus, as can be gleaned from the video below, plenty of British chatter and red wine.
