AS ISLINGTON ASSEMBLY Hall begins to teem with fans, there’s a distinct sense that something special is set to unfold tonight – a transformation from old to new. Kristin Hayter is here to lay her Lingua Ignota alias to rest, alongside many songs that, up until now, have been used as a cathartic outlet for healing through the horrors of abuse. This new era will see her take on the title of Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter, with the imminent release of her new album, Saved!
