Voices of Hope – 40 Years of the London Community Gospel Choir
(Producer: Chris Mitchell)
(Featuring: Bazil Meade MBE and the London Community Gospel Choir)
As the London Community Gospel Choir celebrates its 40th anniversary with a homecoming concert at the Hackney Empire, founders and members reflect on the choir’s origin story, history and legacy. From it’s inception in 1980’s London, against a backdrop of personal, community and national trauma, the choir struggled to become a movement for rescue, acceptance and unity. 40 years on and issues on social injustice, division and displacement are all too relevant. There remains a need for voices of hope.
