£15Union Chapel has towered over Upper Street in Islington since the 1870s and today thrives as an award-winning venue, homelessness project and a working radical church. On the tour, led by an expert Islington Guided Walks guide, you’ll see this architectural gem up close and discover the building’s fascinating history. The Grade I listed Victorian Gothic Chapel is one of the largest Nonconformist churches in London. It houses an important Father Henry Willis organ that is one of few left in the UK with an original hydraulic blowing system, stunning stained glass windows and a distinctive octagonal interior built for acoustics and visibility. Take a tour and learn more about Islington’s heritage, the Chapel’s triumphant survival after a wartime bomb, and the fascinating story of its near demolition in the 1980s, at a time when Victorian architecture was only just being appreciated. Further Information & Access: The tour lasts approximately one hour from 12pm. The ground floor of the chapel is wheelchair accessible. Those following the tour to the Gallery level must be aware of multiple staircases to access as well as be comfortable with heights. If you have access requirements, please email [email protected] ahead of attendance.

£25Kili Presents and Metropolis By Arrangement with Junzi Arts Jamie Duffy: A Rising Star in the Music World "Whether he decides to be Ireland’s answer to Hans Zimmer or the next Yo-Yo Ma, the future is most certainly bright." - The Irish Times 22-year-old musician and songwriter Jamie Duffy is a notable force in the music scene, known for seamlessly blending traditional, popular, and classical influences into a distinctive musical style that captivates with its beauty. Jamie's debut track, "Solas," continues to break records, becoming the most streamed debut song by an Irish artist since Hozier's "Take Me To Church," amassing over 155 million streams on Spotify. With over 1.9 million monthly listeners, Jamie is solidifying his place in the music world. Jamie's collaborations showcase his versatility and innovation. His collaboration, "Solas (with Sarah Cothran)," holds deep personal significance and represents a creative milestone. Reflecting on the track, Jamie expressed, "The new version of Solas with Sarah Cothran is very special and important to me, and it’s been executed in a way I always dreamed any vocal version would be." This version adds an international dimension to Jamie's musical repertoire. Expanding his collaborative repertoire, Jamie has worked with notable musicians such as Patrick Dexter and Kingfishr. From uplifting instrumental pieces to emotionally resonant tracks featuring powerful vocals, Jamie's compositions span a diverse range of genres and themes. Jamie is set to captivate audiences once again with his latest single, "Torus," a mesmerizing piece inspired by the cyclical swimming patterns of basking sharks. Jamie explains, "In this piece, I was inspired by basking sharks swimming in circles. This behavior mirrors my own experiences and relationships, often feeling cyclical. The torus-shaped circles these majestic creatures form symbolize the beautiful and wild aspects of life." As Jamie embarks on this new chapter, he looks forward to sharing his music with audiences around the world. This autumn, Jamie will be embarking on a highly anticipated tour across The UK, promising to connect with fans and further his journey as a musician.
