In spite of the atmospheric tumult that accompanies the onset of autumn (by which I mean it’s wet and a bit nippy) the RGM team are out to catch the London leg of Rachel Sermanni’s tour in support of So It Turns, her thoroughly excellent third LP.  It’s our first ever visit to the crumbling grandeur of St John’s Church in Bethnal Green, one of a growing number of sacred places doubling up as music venues.  For those among us that already consider gig-going a semi-religious act it’s the perfect partnership and the instant reverence that buildings like this bestow on visitors does plenty to civilise a crowd.  To be fair, the fifteen foot statue of Jesus hanging behind the altar helps, too.
