The return of ‘Gospel Night Live’ monthly concert is great news for all gospel music enthusiasts who love LIVE music. The concert series which had taken a break since last year returns in grand style at the Main auditorium of the University Of Lagos, Akoka next Thursday, September 26.
Performances by Midnight Crew, Adam, K-Sticks & AMD, Monique, Dieko, House Of Psalms amongst others are part of the features to expect in the three hour concert scheduled to kick off at 6pm.
The unique, a la carte gospel show dubbed ‘Gospel Night Live’ that took Lagos by storm in May 2012 is back. This time the event will be holding at the prestigious 2000-seating capacity UNILAG’s main auditorium. This writer agrees that this is a good move away from the 200- seating space in Rodizzio GRA where the show held for several months last year.
“We had to take a break to reorganize and plan a better show that will continue to run monthly in a bigger and conducive venue in line with the goal of providing a platform for both new and established gospel acts. The vision of GNLive remains the same and our resolve is stronger than ever. Our mission is to showcase high quality African gospel music on a world-class pedestal in order to increase its attractiveness and consequently the earning power of the genre.” According to the organizer, Tunde Makinwa.
The program is still powered by Spinlet who have facilitated the monthly concert’s migration to a much larger venue.
The re-launch edition will feature the hottest names in Gospel music including MidnightCrew, Dieko, Monique, A’dam, K-sticks and more.
