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.
