ZOLA JESUS (London Grand Junction, 24/09/24)

Maximum goth witch vibes courtesy of Nika Danilova, a piano, and a magnificent Victorian church with painted fire blazing across its ceiling. Quite succinct, but I don’t think anything could have topped an extraordinary rendition of the Ukrainian folk song “Plyve kacha”, performed with such breathtaking intensity and Galas-esque high notes I feared for the venue’s stained glass.
