January Blues Festival: P.P. ARNOLD

A concert by P.P. Arnold, the soul singer known as London's First Lady of Soul, staged at Union Chapel as part of the January Blues Festival.

P.P. Arnold began in gospel music before moving into the soul sound of the 1960s. Arnold sang as one of the Ikettes, the backing group for Ike and Tina Turner, and later worked with the Small Faces, the British band of the Swinging Sixties. Arnold's recordings include The First Cut Is the Deepest and Angel of the Morning.

At Union Chapel, Arnold performs with special guests in an evening of soul that traces this career, from gospel roots to the music of the Swinging Sixties.

Union Chapel is a chapel on Compton Terrace in London that also hosts concerts, mainly pop, rock and indie music. This evening is part of the January Blues Festival.
