Gospel Choir of the Year - Final
It’s the final of Songs of Praise Gospel Choir of the Year 2023, hosted by Mark De-Lisser. Last week, five of the best amateur choirs from across the UK took to the stage at The Monastery in Manchester. This week, they have a second opportunity to impress the three celebrity judges - TV’s favourite choir master Gareth Malone; actress, performer and queen of soul Mica Paris; and MOBO award-winning gospel artist and Christian rapper Guvna B. \n\nEach choir performs its own choice of gospel song: Belfast Community Gospel Choir sing Holy, Holy, Holy; BIMM Birmingham Gospel Choir have chosen Never Alone; EAGA Gospel Choir from Leicester perform an African Medley; G Choir from Hull sing Blessing of Abraham; and Birmingham Community Gospel Choir perform I Almost Let Go. The judges have a tough decision to make, but only one choir can become Gospel Choir of the Year.
