London’s Union Chapel venue, the converted church which has supplied excellent surroundings for performances by the likes of Air, Bjork, Goldfrapp and Koop (and Time Out Venue of the Year in 2002) faces closure if it can’t match lottery funding of £180,000 to restore its roof. The building is used for a variety of arts projects, and runs a homlessness project, but has become best known in recent times as a gig and club venue. To help cover the short fall in cash the venue is launching a Buy-a-Tile scheme. People who make a donation (minimum £5) will appear on the Roof Roll Of Honour – a list of altruistic souls who have helped rescue the venue. More details at www.unionchapel.org.uk
