London Community Gospel Choir

Thursday, 16th April 2026 - 6:30pm


They are proud to represent the metropolitan community of London, coming together as a tight-knit ensemble of talented vocalists, sharing joy, and feel-good music with their audiences.  In 1982 a dream and a vision came alive.  Revd. Bazil Meade, with the help of Lawrence Johnson, Delroy Powell and John Francis, made a mark in history pioneering the first concert gospel choir in Britain – LCGC.  They have since worked with everyone from Paul McCartney, to Elton John, Cliff Richard, Westlife, Tori Amos, Madonna, Beverley Knight, Nick Cave, Gregory Porter, on countless recordings, including as part of the original motion picture soundtrack to The Lion King, which went on to be nominated for the Best Original Song at the Academy Awards.

Trying to fit LCGC into a neat slot is virtually impossible.  They are adaptable, flexible and create dynamic melodies with rich harmonies.  LCGC is known for their funky gospel flair, swing-beat, R’n’B, traditional and soulful arrangements, with invigorating choreography and vocal gymnastics.
