EVENT RETURNS FOR GOSPEL PROFESSIONALS
Key figures from the UK's gospel music community are set to meet
in Birmingham for the annual GRAND GOSPEL SUMMIT.
Central to the Summit this year will be the development of a plan for
the gospel community to engage with key policy makers to devise
strategies that will enable gospel music to have a greater cultural
and economic impact on British society.
It takes place at The Drum, 144 Potters Lane, Birmingham. This
year's theme, 'Cultural Leadership and Influencing Change' aims to
provide the first step in creating a positive gospel music legacy for
the next generation.
This year, attendees of the GGS2008 have been specially invited,
including church leaders, gospel artists, DJs, media personnel,
record executives and members of the charitable sector.

JULIET FLETCHER, founder of GreenTree and
organiser of the Gospel Summit comments:
'...in order for UK gospel to have a greater impact not
only do its practitioners have to come together to
strategise, we need to form alliances with key
organisations and grant making bodies so that we can
access the professional skills and finance the gospel
industry needs to move forward...'

the church community, gospel music scene, Third Sector organisations
and creative small businesses...'
They will discuss important issues and look at how the various groups can
network and engage with each other more effectively in order to develop a
sector that is economically, and professionally recognised for its current
and future contributions...'
