LONDON COMMUNITY GOSPEL CHOIR

United Kingdom

In 1982 a dream and a vision came alive. The Reverend Bazil Meade, with the help of Lawrence Johnson, Delroy Powell and John Francis, made a mark in history pioneering the first concert gospel choir in Britain – the London Community Gospel Choir.

Trying to fit this choir into a neat slot is virtually impossible. They are adaptable, flexible and create dynamic melodies with rich harmonies whether they are performing as an octet or a 30-strong choir. They is known for their funky gospel flair, swing-beat, R'n'B, traditional and soulful arrangements, with invigorating choreography and vocal gymnastics.

The London Community Gospel Choir perform just about anywhere: private corporate functions, after-show parties, conferences, schools, cabaret functions, clubs, weddings, christenings, funerals, prisons, churches, open-air festivals, theatres and concert halls.

There just aren’t enough adjectives to describe the fusion between their physical energy and the subtlety of the voices in a concert by the London Community Gospel Choir. The Fes Festival audience are in for a rare treat and will undoubtedly welcome the choir with great enthusiasm.
