Co-founded by Lawrence Johnson, Delroy Powell and Bazil Meade, LCGC was Britain’s first black community gospel choir to be comprised of singers from a range of black Pentecostal churches.

Back in the day, it was only the most talented singers and musicians who were prepared to defy their pastors and overlook the criticism from fellow Christians to be part of a choir that was determined to take gospel music beyond the four walls of the church.
