Rounding off this year’s 25th anniversary celebrations Bella Union are thrilled to announce the first of two special shows at the Union Chapel this Autumn. Taking place on Friday 4th November, the first show announced will feature performances from Lowly, Colouring and Blue Luminaire.
Commenting on the shows Bella Union boss Simon Raymonde says: “Over the 25 years of the label some of our most magical nights have been at Union Chapel so we wanted to round out the year with two special shows featuring artists from Bella Union.”
LOWLY
LOWLY will be coming to London to headline the Bella Union Chapel show on Nov 4. Returning to the public eye with a quite stunning performance at Ypsigrock festival in Sicily "I literally was in tears for most of the set and only realised later that I hadn't taken one photo of them so transfixed was I. Seeing Penelope Isles, C Duncan all watching glassy-eyed behind me was special too! This is a band whose time is imminent. New songs of extraordinary emotional weight suggest something big is coming, so don't be a chump and miss out on a show that will certainly be one of the best of the year," - Simon Raymonde of Bella Union/Cocteau Twins.
Lowly are from Denmark and released the two beautiful albums Heba (2017) and Hifalutin (2019) heralding the arrival of five special talents, one of those rare bands where each individual is utterly indispensable. Come and see them in November and be dazzled and tantalized by what is coming up next.....
Blue Luminaire
Blue Luminaire is a new project from Oxford-born, Copenhagen-based composer, Nick Martin. For Martin, writing music is an act of catharsis. It’s a way of untangling the uncertainty of a new beginning, while honouring the shadow of the past. It’s a means of piecing together the patchwork of experience to understand the present, and it’s a route into the next phase: the rise of the moon, and the glow of dawn.
Colouring
After a whirlwind period supporting The 1975 on tour and releasing EPs that caught the attention of Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens, Phil Taggart and Annie Mac, Nottingham-based artist, Colouring, returns with his first live performance since before the pandemic, debuting work from his upcoming sophomore album.
