Some pics from our charity's workshop yesterday, led by our Director @helengarnett.bsky.social

So many happy faces - perhaps Hot Gospel members of the future among them? 😉

HOT GOSPEL WINS GOLD AT INTERKULTUR!

We're thrilled to share this amazing news with you all, along with a message from our founder & director @helengarnett.bsky.social

#HotGospel #HullChoirCompetition #FaithInSong #GospelMusic #Gospel #AwardWinningChoir #ChoirFamily #ToGodBeTheGlory #Interkultur
We are absolutely thrilled to share that Hot Gospel has been awarded a GOLDEN DIPLOMA – Level I with an impressive 21.33 points in the Pop, Jazz & Gospel category at the Hull International Choir Competition 2025! To receive such a high score in an international competition of this calibre is a huge honour, but for us, it’s always been about more than the music. This was an opportunity to share our faith, our ministry, and the message of gospel with people from all over the world, and we did just that. We are bursting with pride for every single member of our incredible choir, and our phenomenal band, who have come an astonishingly long way in less than a year. What a journey it has been, and this is only the beginning! To God be the glory. Thank you to all who have supported us! Hot Gospel Golden Diploma - Level I

We had the most wonderful time supporting the amazing Hull NHS Choir at Hull Minster for their 10th Anniversary celebration last night. 🌠🙌💙

We've got lots of photos etc. to share. Here are some, along with some words from @helengarnett.bsky.social.

Thank you to everyone involved! ✨🎶
Hot Gospel choir at Hull Minster. The choir are wearing blue, and the director (who is facing the audience) is wearing a red sequin dress. Hot Gospel performing at Hull Minster. They and the director have hands raised as they sing Hot Gospel choir - close up on the director as she directed the audience to sing along 🎶 What an incredible evening! 🎶 Tonight, we had the absolute privilege of singing at the NHS Hull Choir’s 10th Anniversary celebration in the breathtaking Hull Minster. The atmosphere was nothing short of electric, filled with positivity, joy, and a deep sense of community. A huge shoutout to the amazing NHS Choir—you were absolutely fantastic, and it was an honor to be part of such a special occasion. Massive thanks to Mel for being so welcoming our director Helen back as one of the founder MD and to the wonderful, Lucy, Stuart, and Bonnie for all your hard work in your accomplishments in creating such a wonderful choir and making this anniversary event so unforgettable. This was a night we will carry in our hearts forever. 💙 Here’s to 10 years of incredible music, and the amazing people of the NHS who make it all happen! 🙌🎵

Those of us who want Musk to get out of our politics (about which he knows nothing and cares less), and for X to stop facilitating and encouraging murderous racist thugs and vile abuse, need to act.

Lots of us have to act or it won’t work.
