The hunt for the UK's top up-and-coming gospel music act - and Christian Aid Week's new youth ambassadors - comes to a glittering climax in London on Saturday, 17 May, with the grand final of our Harmonise gospel talent search.
Come along and wrap up Christian Aid Week in style
The final will take place at the Commonwealth Church, St Marks, in Mayfair, London. The show starts at 7.30pm and will feature performances from all the finalists, as well as guest slots from established UK gospel artists.
New stars
The winning act will become Christian Aid’s youth gospel ambassador for a year, representing Christian Aid at live events and festivals.
They will also win the fantastic chance to feature on Acoustic Gospel Volume II, a compilation put together by independent record label Rockhill Music.
Christian Aid is working in partnership with Rockhill to provide an artist for the second CD in its Acoustic Gospel series, which is due for release in November 2008.
For each CD sold, £1.50 will go to Christian Aid's work with children and young people in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The main beneficiary will be our partner Humanité Nouvelle, which works with street children in Kinshasa, capital of the DRC, providing a place of refuge and offering advice, training, basic medical care and food.
Each year 10 million children will die before their fifth birthday worldwide, while 100 million will not have the opportunity to go to school.
Rockhill sees this initiative with Christian Aid as an exciting opportunity for talented young people to be given a chance to showcase their abilities and express their music ministry – and also contribute to Christian Aid’s vital work.
