Concert: Sarah Jane Morris at the Union Chapel in London
Lyrics addressing human rights, homophobia, love, loss and rape, set in a Grade-1 listed building are a winner, writes INDIANNA PURCELL

THERE can’t be a better venue in the capital to host jazz and soul luminary Sarah Jane Morris and her band of 15 musicians than the Union Chapel. 

This exceptional grade 1-listed gothic building in north London is a stunning space which has hosted many jazz, blues and soul giants of the music world, while its acoustics are pretty much flawless. 

Surrounded by a typically rich collection of talent, including co-writer and guitarist Tony Remy, the hugely charismatic Morris, now a veteran of 30 years on the music scene, knows exactly what to do to entertain her fans — and entertained they certainly are.
