| The London Community Gospel Choir |
| OUT OF MANY ONE VOICE … and out of an assortment of churches, cultures and characters emerges |
Trying to fit LCGC into a neat slot is virtually impossible. They are adaptable, flexible and perform dynamic sounds creating rich harmonies whether they are a small or large group. LCGC is known for their up-tempo gospel flair, swing-beat, R’n’B, traditional and soulful arrangements, with their invigorating choreography and vocal gymnastics - LCGC is outstanding to watch!
It’s 50+ members 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. LCGC have sung on the soundtrack for Walt Disney’s “The Lion King”, performed for Nelson Mandela during his famous visit to London, officiated at “Mel B’s (Spice Girls)” wedding, represented the British Council at international festivals in Zambia and Zimbabwe, opened at main stage Glastonbury and put gospel for the first time on the BBC Proms map.
