Overview

A double bill in London pairing Duke Special, a pop, rock and indie act, with the English singer-songwriter Ed Harcourt, at Union Chapel in Islington.

Duke Special is a pop, rock and indie act whose songs are built around melody and a theatrical, character-led stage presence. Ed Harcourt is an English singer-songwriter who released the debut album Here Be Monsters in 2001, and whose work draws on the tradition of literate, piano-based songwriting. Both acts place the song and the voice at the centre of their live shows.

Union Chapel is a former Congregational church in Islington, north London, and it hosts concerts and shows throughout the year. The building's own architecture and acoustics shape the way its concerts are heard, which suits a night of songs performed with a small number of instruments.

The bill is aimed at listeners who follow singer-songwriters and indie rock, and at those who want to hear two distinct songwriting voices on the same evening at one of London's established concert venues.
