On the hot, summer evening of 8th July 2016, Wah Wah 45s and their four-piece soul band, The Milk, realised a long-time ambition as the epic sounds of 'Favourite Worry' filled a sold-out Union Chapel. Taking to the stage at the iconic venue which has been home to some of London's most legendary live shows, from the first Big Chill events to Björk to Terry Callier, was an honour that was understood by all.
"It's very rare that we get the chance to recreate our music live with the same instrumentation and attitude in which it was first created. The ambiance of the smokey chambers of the Union Chapel was strangely similar to the medieval barn from which the music of Favourite Worry was brought to life. We can't put our fingers on why, maybe the history, maybe the sense of solidarity among us - either way, if you were there then you shared in something truly special. It is for this reason that we are very proud to release this show as our first live album - a gig that we will always cherish."
"Our eleven strong ensemble did the Gospel-soaked halls of the Union Chapel venue proud and we are very grateful that our wonderful string section and our awesome brass section were able to join us for the night. With their help, we were able to capture, in a live context, a true reflection of the bands soul for the first time."
Whether it's hearing the vast sound of Wanderlust as it steps up that key in the final moments, or revisiting seldom played hits from the first album, 'Tales From The Thames Delta', there is something here for fans old and new.
