Ron Pope

Ron Pope, an American singer-songwriter, performs at Union Chapel in London, with Bird on the same bill. The concert takes place in the former church in Islington, a venue that hosts concerts and shows throughout the year.

Ron Pope is an American singer-songwriter whose work centres on guitar-led songs and personal, narrative lyrics. The name sits within the American folk and singer-songwriter tradition, and the project's records are the best place to hear how the songwriting has developed over the years. Bird is also on the bill, so the evening brings two acts together in a single night.

Union Chapel is a deconsecrated Victorian Congregational church on Compton Terrace in Islington. Its high nave and wooden interior make it a distinctive place to hear acoustic and singer-songwriter music, and it regularly hosts concerts and shows. The evening suits listeners who follow songwriters performing in a seated, church setting and who want to hear new material alongside older songs.
