Welcome to Black In Britain.

BUTLINS GOSPEL MUSIC WEEKENDER


	RCA Records has announced the first ever three-day international Gospel event in the UK. Gospel Gathering UK will take place from Friday 16 to Sunday 18 November 2007 at Butlins in Minehead. Headlining the bill is multi-award winning US Gospel superstar Kirk Franklin whose current album “Hero” has already scored a UK radio hit in “Looking For You”. Franklin will be joined by Mary Mary who reached Top 5 in the UK Charts with their hit “Shackles (Praise You)” and Donnie McClurkin who famously recorded his best-seller project “Live in London” at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon. UK representation will be British Gospel pioneers Raymond & Co and Four Kornerz, plus, more contemporary church praise and worship input from Muyiwa & Riversongz, Mark Beswick and Roger Samuels. Bishop John Francis will hold a special Sunday service to close out the weekender. Gospel Gathering UK will take place over the course of a weekend where outside of the live music there will be music workshops and a talent show (where the winner gets to open for Kirk Franklin). A vast range of catering will be made available providing fast food, contemporary dishes and African/Caribbean cuisine. Gospel Gathering UK is brought to you by RCA Records in association with Butlins, Premier Radio, United by ONE and HMV – the official Gospel Gathering UK music supplier. MTV Base and children’s charity World Vision provide additional support for the weekender.
