THE VENUE:
St Nicholas Church dates back to 1931-32, and is one of the only (and earliest) 'Modernist' churches in Britain. A unique and striking building, St Nicholas' is revered as 'A milestone in the history of modern church architecture in England.' (Pevsner) The church was saved from dereliction in the early 2000's by the Heritage Lottery Fund, and underwent an impressive £1 million refurbishment. Now boasting a funky new interior - including a suspended glass meeting room! - the church has retained its impressive scale and glorious acoustic, which will be the perfect setting for the breathtaking music of LUNA ROSSA. “Not rock, not folk, but inhabiting a hushed, bruised &
wonderful world somewhere in-between” (Echoes & Dust) |
