How Gospel took over the Houses of Parliament

Premier Gospel Radio station made history on September 19, 2023, with the launch of our ground breaking campaign, #Gospel4All, at the iconic Houses of Parliament in London. This event not only celebrated the enduring power of Gospel music but also marks a significant step toward gaining official government recognition for Gospel Heritage Month in the UK. 

The #Gospel4All campaign is a bold initiative aimed at uplifting, inspiring, uniting, and educating people through the soul-stirring melodies of Gospel music. It seeks to celebrate Gospel Heritage Month and bring Gospel music to the forefront of British culture and education. Premier Gospel, the leading radio station for Gospel music, is spearheading this movement to highlight the positive impact of Gospel music on individuals, communities, and society as a whole. 
 
The launch event boasted a line-up of influential guest speakers who shared their insights and perspectives on the significance of Gospel music and the #Gospel4All campaign's objectives. Kim Johnson MP said: "I'm also very proud that Liverpool lighthouse and Premier Gospel have shone a very bright light on gospel music, the importance of gospel music, the joy, the love that it brings to everybody. ”
 
The event also featured compelling performances from Platoon Music’s Ryan Hylton and Folabi Nuel from their Apple music gospel heritage month project “A UK GOSPEL CELEBRATION”.
