Bella Union announce Summer Evening @ Union Chapel

Helen True — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 18:34:36 +0000

Bella Union have put together a little belter of an evening at the Union Chapel on 24th June featuring some of their finest signings from recent months. These will include long-term love of FFS Alessi’s Ark, Lone Wolf (who recently supported Aidan Moffat at the Borderline) and brand-spanking new signing Mountain Man (who are, confusingly, three ladies).

We’ve a review of Mountain Man’s new album, Made the Harbor in the FFS pipelines as I type. John Grant recently completed the line-up for what looks to be a rather splendid summer night, replete with folk, Americana and banjoes.

Grab your £12.50 tickets here.

Impeccable musical quality aside, this gig takes place at London’s now-legendary church-come-venue, where music fans will take their pews, sip their tea and enjoy the atmospheric wonder of this Islington treasure.

Mountain Man also play Manchester’s Deaf Institute on June 22nd as well as a clutch of super summer festivals including Hard Rock Calling, Glastonbury and Nation of Shopkeepers.

Owl Parliament 2010 line-up announced

Helen True — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:02:04 +0000

Last year, the first Owl Parliament was a wonder of a day: Mechanical Bride, Jeff Lewis, Johnny Flynn and Laura Marling were a few of the stellar acts who performed to a Union Chapel auditorium packed full of numb-bummed music fans.

Owl Parliament 2010 has now confirmed a line-up to rival last year’s, which will feature, among others, Aidan Moffat, Darren Hayman, Emmy The Great, Blue Roses, and Jeremy Warmsley.

The venue’s still the immense Union Chapel, which will be filled to the brims on 27th February with discerning musicistas of all ages (NO limits, which is nice).

From lunchtime until the dark hours of the night, a procession of brilliance will amaze and delight. Be sure to bring a cushion, a thermos, and snacks. Preparation is all.

Tickets are £26, which works out at something like £3 a band. That’s free maths right there. Get ‘em while they’re hot.
