Nine days of summer fun are coming to Chelmsford

CHRISTIANS from all over Essex and East London will descend on Chelmsford this July when re:fresh 08, the Chelmsford Christian Festival, hits the town. The festival promises nine days of live acts, special guests, talks and fringe events in the High Street and Park as well as the Central Baptist Church, the Cathedral and other churches from July 12 20.

Take your pick from an exciting programme. Tickets go on sale on April 7 through www.seetickets.com or by phone on 0871 230 0010. Heading the impressive line up is the London Community Gospel Choir. Famous for their rich harmonies and dynamic performances, they are as outstanding to watch as to listen to with their up-tempo gospel flair, swing-beat, R'n'B, traditional and soulful arrangements, their vocal gymnastics and invigorating choreography.

Controversial, Professional, Energetic, Inspiring and Spirit-filled! Whatever adjective you may choose to describe the sound and vision of the London Community Gospel Choir, they go where angels fear to tread. They have sung on the soundtrack for Walt Disney's "The Lion King", performed for Nelson Mandela during his famous visit to London, officiated at "Mel B's (Spice Girls)" wedding, represented the British Council at international festivals in Zambia and Zimbabwe, opened at main stage Glastonbury
and put gospel for the first time on the BBC Proms map.

Top artists such as Sting, George Michael, Luther Vandross, Sir Elton John, Mariah Carey, Blur, Diana Ross, Sir Paul McCartney, Westlife, Celine Dion, Tina Turner and so many others have benefited from using their unique vocal style on live appearances, video and studio recordings.

The London Gospel Community Choir will set the whole of Chelmsford pulsating on Saturday July 19 in Central Park.
