Voices of Hope
40 years of the London Community Gospel Choir
As the London Community Gospel Choir celebrates its
40th anniversary with a homecoming concert at
Hackney Empire, founders and members reflect on
the choir’s origin story, history and legacy. From its
inception in 1980s London, against a backdrop of
personal, community and national trauma, the choir
struggled to become a movement for rescue,
acceptance and unity. 40 years on and issues of
social injustice, division and displacement are all too
relevant. There remains a need for voices of hope!
