Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Union Chapel in Islington is a working church that doubles as one of London's most atmospheric gig venues—perfect for Almond's secular-religious vocal drama.
This 2000 performance came during Almond's 'comeback' period after the 1999 motorcycle accident that nearly killed him, lending the torch songs actual lived mortality.
