The reverential setting of a church in the back streets of Dalston was the sold-out London stop on Alela Diane's three gig European tour, promoting her new album ‘Looking Glass' (see our review). This was an ideal setting for her solo performance, with an excellent PA and very good lighting.

Alela Diane's set on her UK tour's opening night draws largely from her latest piano-based album ‘Cusp' along with songs from her 2009 gem, ‘To Be Still'.
