C i t y S i n g s G o s p e l 08

2008 has been a fantastic year for realising our gospel music project- City Sings Gospel.

This year we held City Sings Gospel 08, an international festival of gospel music which celebrated gospel music in a variety of events in June including a massive gospel arts street party, The Festival of Hope 08. The festival’s mixture of home grown talent and internationally renowned choirs and artistes has helped make a lasting mark on the gospel music scene in the North West.

City Sings Gospel has reached out to people on a local, regional and international level and bringing communities and businesses together to participate in a range of collective gospel music performances. The much celebrated 15 day programme included concerts, street performances, workshops, showcase events and a conference for the gospel music and arts industry.

In its third year, City Sings Gospel 08 has proved to be the biggest festival to date involving a large staff of volunteers and artists from all over the UK and the four corners of the globe.

Liverpool Lighthouse, organisers of the festival would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to our staff, volunteers and supporters for their valuable contribution to the international festival of gospel music and to the Festival of Hope 08. Building on this year’s success, we hope the vision and scope of City Sings Gospel project stretches into the future. We hope you’ll join us as we help our city of Liverpool to sing gospel.
