A few friends and I are setting up a gospel choir. We met at the British Gospel Arts choir workshops last year. We enjoyed singing together so much that we didn't want the course to end and kept saying "why don't we set up our own choir?" but didn't know how to go about it. British Gospel Arts is the education branch of the London Community Gospel Choir which runs beginners, intermediate and advanced gospel singing classes every term. They are great fun to do as well as vocally stretching and spiritually uplifting. I was amazed at how gospel music brings together people of different faiths, especially when the songs we sing are explicitly worshipping Jesus. Its the love of the music, the energy, the incredible harmony and bond of friendship which unites us. I'm looking forward to meeting with my friends on Wednesday to talk more about the next stage of set up.
