I missed the Cowboy Junkies when they visited in January, so I had to catch this very acoustic set at the Union Chapel in Islington earlier this evening.
The Union Chapel itself is an octagonal auditorium dominated by a massive pulpit and is still used as a church. As the event was unreserved seating, and I didn’t get there all that early, I was upstairs in a pew on the balcony.
As I mentioned, the set was acoustic with just Margo and Michael Timmins, accompanied by Jeff Bird. They played a full set spanning everything from The Trinity Session through some of my favourites from the likes of The Caution Horses, and played some tracks from their forthcoming new album At the End of Paths Taken.
All in all a very enjoyable evening.
